3/32 isnt a problem, remember that even if you get a 1/8 cog, a 1/8 chain runs fine on 3/32 (that's what i'm running right now - 1/8 chain, 1/8 rear cog & 3/32 chainring). You can get 130 mm spaced rear hubs, check hubjub.co.uk, or sjs cycles. Just google it. Its harder for me finding 110 mm!
Your biggest problem will be the vertical dropouts. remember that on a fixie chain tension is important, as is the chainline. I'd reccomend playing around with as many different cog combinations as you can until you find your magic gear. 39/15 gives you a fairly easy gear, so beware you'll be spinning a fair bit (but on the other hand it makes learning skidding etc easier).
Good luck!
