If you are going to contribute to the project then you probably need to contribute to the project's documentation too (not in all cases). Anyway, one of my emails stated that any of the formats that have been suggested are easily readable in text format, that's one of their huge benefits. Thus, you would be able to contribute just fine w/o having the lib installed. Also, if one were to be installed, I am sure binaries would be created by someone. Also... the job of choosing a library to link in would certainly be using one that is as cross platform as Fossil is. Being that it's just text formatting, I believe the code would be pretty portable. The one that was mentioned already is just straight standard C code with no platform dependencies. Clearly more portable than Fossil. When I first started with Fossil half the networking didn't even work on Windows.
