I'm trying to scrape some websites that rely on Javascript, so I found this 
article discussing Watir and headless processing.  I ran into the following 
exception: Headless::Exception: Xvfb not found on your system.  So I started 
researching Xvfb and discovered that it is a stand-alone display server.  So I 
started looking into how to get it installed on Heroku, I found a gist where 
the author is discussing building a static linked binary, but he doesn't really 
come to a successful conclusion.  I've also seen mention of using a custom 
build-pack, but nothing definite there either.

Does anyone have experience with this and can offer some advice on how to 
proceed?
