Just a little roadmap info: mwEmbed[1], contaning jQuery, will not be part of MediaWiki 1.16. It will be added in a later version. Tim Starling pulled it from trunk a few weeks ago and Michael Dale has continued working on it in a branch. I expect it will be added again after the branching/tagging of 1.16, and be part of 1.17 after a thorough shake down during the 1.17 alpha period.

I wonder what would be the best approach for extensions that use jQuery and package it up within itself to use global jQuery and do that in backwards compatible way (e.g. to make sure that prior versions of MediaWiki don't get broken). Is there a good How-To for developers to rewrite their extensions?
