/*
To avoid polluting the global namespace this uses an anonymous
function which is called with either the URL for an external
JavaScript file or a function. In either case jQuery will be loaded
from the Google CDN before your code is executed so it's free to
depend on jQuery without checking for it and can do things like
jQuery.getScript() to load other components (e.g. jQuery UI),
stylesheets, etc.
