I do:

rename c:\ruby to c:\ruby-182
install 1.8.5 into c:\ruby

then go to C:\ruby-182\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\cache and do
gem install *.gem

I suppose there will be problems with dependencies (order of
installation), so if anything fails, I install the gems individually.

Then I'd do global update and remove older no more needed gems.

Back up the 1.8.2 folder, copying over the lib/ruby/gems directory from
the backup to the fresh 1.8.5 install, gem update, gem clean. If
rubygems is at least halfways worth its salt as a package manager (which
I hope it does), it should recuperate from that. Futzing with them
manually hopefully won't be required.
