I'm not aware of any explicit bookmarklet support but if you need to get jQuery onto the page then at least it has a nice light file size. A few things to note: IE limits the length of your bookmarklet to 250 characters or so. To keep bookmarklets small it is common to have them simply load a remote script (from your site) that will actually do the fancy stuff. If your script needs jQuery then I'd suggest that you load it either in your bookmarklet or in your script. The google-hosted jquery can be handy for this. Maybe worth checking whether there's a compatible version of jQuery already loaded and use that, before fetching another. If you load jQuery yourself then you should use it's handy noConflict option to prevent issues with other libraries etc already on the page.
