A:
I don’t think that’s a problem anyone’s interested in solving (i.e. web-based gui frameworks for older browsers like IE 5).
It’s much harder on older browsers because they lack features, have more bugs, and run JavaScript slower. And there’s less point, because those browsers are disappearing.
If I were you, I’d build a CRM application that’s so good, companies still on IE 5 will install Firefox just to use it.

Bull. Make the world’s best CRM application. Sell it to all the companies that aren’t stupid enough to think IE 5’s a good idea. Companies that remain that stupid will eventually die off. Majorities are just minorities that got popular.

For your specific needs check out David Mark's "My Library". It doesn't have the popularity of jQuery or Extjs but for absolute cross-platform portability, nothing beats it. It was developed from best practices gathered from comp.lang.javascript.
He claims:
...after spending a week testing, I am pleased to announce that Cinsoft supports My Library in the following browsers:
All of them.
But seriously, we've tested successfully in:-
- IE 5-8
- FF 1-3.5
- Safari 2-4
- Opera 5-10
- Netscape 3-9
