Any plans to provide static build?

Haven't succeed to compile capybara-webkit yet, so I can't see binary yet.

Most probably it will have dependencies to some *.dylib files, it can be solved with
Can see example how I make portable libpq https://github.com/Paxa/postbird/blob/master/BUILDING_DEPS.md

Many gems provide precompiled binaries, e.g. nokogiri

This is something we've talked about, given that Qt has been a generally troublesome dependency. We've also considered switching to CEF, in which case we would need to provide a separate build.

Nobody has a ton of resources to spend on capybara-webkit right now, but the ability to use prebuilt binaries would be nice.
