Add easily accessible version info to jQuery core

Currently jQuery's version can be accessed via jQuery.fn.jquery. I propose this patch:

  * basic XPath selector which is then used to match a set of elements.

Is this really needed ? uhmm...

The difference between jQuery.version and jQuery.fn.version is really not worth the trouble.
