Disable hgweb browsing

[marcinkuzminski]

I think what you need is to use the build in wsgi app server that
hgweb runs on, and wrap it around your web app.
This is what I did in rhodecode, building the web interface from
scratch.

Here's what i did starting developing rhodecode
https://hg.rhodecode.org/rhodecode/files/b48ebda822a459e9c61496964a2af05895eb41bb/pylons_app/lib/hgapp.py

Similar code (since hgwebdir is deprecated) should do the job.
