Issue 92: Change jQuery syntax to not use the $

When I added a Jmesa table to an existing web page that already
required prototype.js, I got many JavaScript errors.  I believe the
"$" function defined by both libraries is the root of the evil.  I was
able to remove my web page's prototype dependency (so all is currently
"well").

I was wondering if the Jmesa javascript code could be changed to
reference "jQuery" instead of "$" (I believe "$" and "jQuery" are
synonyms) so web pages with existing prototype dependencies could
still use Jmesa tables.

I had to make this change in my environment for things to work correctly, and it
appears to work like a charm.

Was it as easy as just doing a search and replace? 

Could you include the file that you changed? I would just use your file seeing how
you have working code.

Yep - just a simple search & replace in jmesa.js: $ --> jQuery
