[development] upgrade jquery in D5

["Alex J. G. Burzyński"]

That's the little trick I'm using (this way I can override
misc/jquery.js with whatever version of jquery I want):

You just need to replace the jquery.js file that ships with Drupal with a new download of jQuery 1.1, and then also have a simple dummy module that adds the jQuery 1.1 backward compatibility plugin (available from jquery.com).  I haven't tried upgrading to 1.2 yet, although in theory it should be the same procedure but include adding the 1.2 backward compatibility plugin as well.
