The one-click installer for that version sets the rubyopt environment
variable, so rubygems is getting loaded earlier than we realize.

C:\myapp>pik sw 186 mswin

 == Switching to ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) [i386-mswin32] ==

C:\myapp>ruby foo.rb
<table>
   <tr>
      <td>foo
      <td align='left'>bar
      <td>baz
   <tr>
      <td>1
      <td>2
      <td>3
   <tr>
      <td>hello
      <td>world
</table>

C:\myapp>set RUBYOPT=-rubygems

C:\myapp>ruby foo.rb
c:/ruby/186-p287-mswin32/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in
`gem_original_require': no such file to load -- html/table (LoadError)
        from c:/ruby/186-p287-mswin32/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in
`require'
        from foo.rb:5

C:\myapp>set RUBYOPT=

C:\myapp>ruby foo.rb

   <tr>
      <td>foo
      <td align='left'>bar

      <td>1
      <td>2
      <td>3

Hope that does it.
