A bit more details on this. First the cli it is enough to install jmol with
the flag client-only which just install the binary.
The next problem is that to get the web-applet we need either 
-client-only or vhost use flags. Which require the gentoo web-app 
framework. We don't want that. 
*sage uses twisted as its server, this is not supported by web-app.

We basically need a lot of the stuff that is provided for the web-app
without the requirements of the web-app framework.

I can say you have installed jmol as a web-app Steve. The stuff provided
in the appletweb folder could be provided by jmol. At first I was trying
to provide some stuff from jmol and keeping some stuff from sagenb.
This one has tough requirements.
