Initially we had a native dependency (Nokogiri) but given the environment
we're deploying in having to manually twiddle with symlinks to libxml and
libxslt was met with exasperated sighs.

We've switched to the native Java Nokogiri and now our app ships 100% free
of any native dependencies whatsoever. While a "pure Java" application was
never specifically a requirement for us, we chose to ship one anyway due to
the simplified deployment.

I look forward to the opportunities this offers us in other environments
(e.g. Amazon Elastic Beanstalk)
