After trying to get the mercurial repository explorer setup on my shared hosting with no luck, I have decided to try and write a module for our Intranet that will act as a repository explorer.
Is it possible for me to get changesets from a Mercurial repository without Mercurial installed on the machine?
Thanks for any help!

Definitely, but you probably don't need to do that. Mercurial has a static-http:// mode where it will let you clone and pull from repos that are merely sitting on an available web server. It's slower, but it works.
That said, folks have found that with enough work they can get all but the most restrictive shared hosting systems serving up hgwebdir.cgi.
