The rails script is just a stub. It loads rails via gems, and is set up
to use the latest version found. 

After looking through the code, I realized you can force a specific version. 
If the first word on the command-line is enclosed in underscores, this will be 
used as a version specification:

$ rails _0.9.2_ /my/new/app

But this doesn't seem to change the environment, so the latest version
will still be loaded inside the app.
