How to use a modified third-party library in a Rails project?

Question

Some background:

I am currently using Coderay gem (v 0.9.7) in a Rails project I'm working on.

I downloaded the source code for this version and applied the patch for the functionality that the Coderay team plans to release in a later version.

Questions:

• How to use this modified code in my project?

• I use Heroku for a live site. How to use the modified code on the site in real time, since now I do not use the official gem?
