Add Bleeding Edge Jquery to your Drupal

In the process of implementing a design today, the javascript provided required jquery 1.4 as a dependency.

What is the answer to this problem?

NOTE: See this more recent post on adding jQuery 1.4 to Drupal

A couple of resources:
jQuery No Conflict allows you to load multiple version of jQuery on the same page for different code.

jQuery update module allows you to get up to jQuery 1.3 in Drupal 6.

If you try to upgrade to 1.4 on your global Drupal install, you will break your Drupal.

Drush Make also has the ability to apply patches that are contained in makefiles. That way the changes you've 'hacked in' are repeatable and inherently documented.
