Actually, adapting a 130mm wheel to fit a 135mm frame would be EZ. Just install a 135mm axle set and redish the spokes. Getting the brakes to work is another matter entirely. If it was my bike, I think that I'd trial fit a 700c wheel and make sure that I could get the brakes to align before I spend the first dime on this conversion.
