My solution to this is to use Selenium-2 in RC emulation mode. This allows you to keep your legacy Selenium-1 tests but switch to Selenium-2 api when needed to perform tasks like file uploads.

Selenium-2 is currently in Beta but seems to be relatively stable. But not everything that Selenium-1 can do is supported by Selenium-2 RC emulation mode so think twice before you go that way.
