I don't think this is worthwhile. As the former jikes maintainer for
several years, I personally know that 1.14 has bugs (some of them mine :)
that were fixed in 1.22, and don't see what versioning a much older
version of jikes will buy you. I am just fine with a single jikes
package, although if Jari wants, you could package 1.14 as the Prev
version simultaneously with 1.22 as the current version (note that there
is no requirement to do this, though, since it IS harder to maintain two
disparate versions of the same project).
