In that case, the classpath sources should have the old jikes stuff

This is not the case, at least not in 0.97:
andrew@omega ~/projects/classpath/classpath $ ./configure --help|
grep jikes
andrew@omega ~/projects/classpath/classpath $
If you've spotted other outdated references, let me know and they'll
be removed. I tried to get most of them but some may have been
missed.
Yeah, for some reason I was thinking that if configure doesn't give an
error if --with-jikes is specified, then that means it supports --with-
jikes. Perhaps it should give an error?
As for remnants of jikes in the current version, the README file still
claims that jikes is supported. Also, there is still a build
dependency on jikes in classpath.spec. References to jikes should be
removed from the .info files and the Makefile, as well.
