I just tried to build native extensions for Nokogiri via "gems:build"
and it complained that the libxslt C library was not available, so it
couldn't build it's native extensions.

Will Heroku be adding support for this or is there some other way to
go about using Nokogiri on Heroku?

Nokogiri links:
(It's an HTML, XML, SAX, and Reader parser with XPath and CSS
interfaces for searching.)

Git Repository:
http://github.com/tenderlove/nokogiri/tree/master

Rubyforge Project:
http://rubyforge.org/projects/nokogiri/

Rubyforge Documentation:
http://nokogiri.rubyforge.org/nokogiri/

It's required by Mephisto (blog platform), that's why I was trying to
install it. If you need any more info let me know.

Thanks,
Steve

Ps. Here's the full readout from gems:build, if you need it:
