More or less. I created a very simple proof of concepts using Java, JSP,
and GWT:
http://github.com/murraycu/online_glom

At the moment it just shows a list of tables names in the web browser.

I'm also concerned at how difficult it is to deploy JSP on cheap web
hosting. And I'm concerned at how near impossible it is to deploy a C++
library on cheap web hosting. But in the worst case, libglom could be
gradually replaced with a Java reimplementation for the web UI.

Not really. It's hard to find time for it while also doing paying work.
It's one of the things that I hope to find a sponsoring company for.
