Title: Switch from capybara-webkit to poltergeist

Some people at RubyConfBR recommended checking out poltergeist, which uses PhantomJS, as an alternative to capybara-webkit.

I did, and it seems really awesome. This is all I had to do to make all the tests pass (most of the code is JS, I was impressed).

It doesn't require QT or xvfb, is faster, more stable, and is being actively developed. I don't see a reason not to use it in place of capybara-webkit everywhere.
