Summary: Cannot use rubygems-update 1.3.5 to update from rubygems 1.2.x installation

Initial Comment:
Hi,

I ran into a case where if had an older installation of Rubygems 1.2.0 then tried to install rubygems-update 1.3.5 and tried to use the update_rubygems command you would get an error like the following:

`report-activate-error': Could not find RubyGem session (>= 0) 
(Gem::LoadError)


This makes it impossible to update rubygems from version 1.3.5 of rubygems-update.  But it IS possible with version 1.3.4 of rubygems-update.

I consider this behavior extremely unfriendly for people who are on rubygems 1.2.x and want to use a provided mechanism for upgrading

I believe in the email thread below.  Someone else also gets a similar stack trace and their solution was to upgrade from source:

It would be much more preferred to be able to update rubygems via version 1.3.5 (and beyond) of rubygems-update.  But what is considered the canonical way to upgrade?
