1.6 and 1.8 can coexist except for $(prefix)/bin/{ruby,irb}
(although irb in 1.6 and 18 are actually identical now).  So
you don't need to uninstall the previous version, if you rename
them.

When you want to uninstall ruby, remove $(prefix)/bin stuff as
above, $(prefix)/lib/libruby.* and $(prefix)/lib/ruby/.
