Your dream came true( and better) you have fossil. Just as an exercise I made an ajax implementation and let it be served from fossil. You have a choice put the javascript in a webpage e.g. in the fossil executable or serve it from the fossil repository.
In either case you can distribute your application via the web e.g. have your latest fossil executable available for download and clone the repo. Source code included.
