Was really excited to see this, however I did get some additional insight from Heroku that I wanted to share to see if you'd considered this option yet in terms of integrating Vulcan into the build process:

When I asked them about R in a project they replied:

"... If you do wish to try to vendor your binary, library, or gem, you can use Heroku as your build environment. One of our engineers created a build server that allows you to upload source code, run the compilation step, and then download the resulting binary. You can find this project here: https://github.com/heroku/vulcan "

Absolutely. I hadn't heard of vulcan until a few weeks ago, but it's the logical way to do this.

I actually think that having a buildpack for Rook would be fantastic (e.g., http://quickleft.com/blog/hacking-heroku-with-custom-build-packs), just haven't gotten around to doing it myself yet.

Wow yes! That would indeed be fantastic!
