[jQuery] Getting a copy of jQuery itself


Hi!
I am looking for a way to get a copy of the jQuery object itself (a
copy-no reference to the current window.jQuery !). I could not find a
dedicated method for this. Am i missing something or is this currently
not possible?
(a little background for the "Why in the world would you want do do
that?" - department: i am trying to load multiple jQuery versions on
one page in a portlet environment, and each of them might come with
different plugins, so caching teh isntances would be nice)
Thanks!
