 It would be possible to only set noConflict() mode if Prototype was loaded
 too perhaps?, But even then, That would mean we couldnt rely on $ being
 jQuery...

 Unfortunately i think most plugins which load Prototype load it for the
 entire admin interface rather than just for their plugin page, I had that
 problem quite often when using jQuery's $() in my plugin interface. In the
 end i specifically deregistered the Prototype script on my plugins admin
 page and that fixed that.
