SimileAjax.jquery is what they use in lieu of $.

But curate-view.js uses defines

var $ = SimileAjax.jQuery;

in a restricted namespace and uses it.

OT: what is the definitive source of info on Simile/Exhibit, I've
joined recently and I'm pretty confused. It seems that for
discussions, it is this group and for docs it's the simile site, but
I've seen later docs/better info on the code.google site.. and why
would useful discussions be purged? (unless they applied to 1.0 and
were no longer useful/applicable).

Perhaps open a firebug session and see what you can access through
SimileAjax.jquery, or rebind $ and use as normal?

Looking through the js code of Simile, it uses jquery selectors quite
heavily, so I would guess that most of it works, except jquery's
additional stuff like widgets.

It would seem so. Exhibit iirc pulls 
http://static.simile.mit.edu/ajax/api-2.0/simile-ajax-bundle.js
which might be the entire jquery lib, but I am not that familiar with
it, so maybe you could take a look. The version seems to be 1.2.3
