I think the combination of #2 and #3 is optimal. That is all the 
problems on FreeBSD should always be reported to developers. 
One suggestion though: if 1.16 is that bad, maybe it's better to rename 
1.16 to jikes-dev and keep jikes at 1.15?

>     Option #0: Do nothing and live with it.
>     Option #1: Revert jikes port back to 1.15
>     Option #2: Add a new port "jikes-stable" that builds version 1.15
>     Option #3: Try to prod the jikes development team to fix the bugs
> 	       so jikes is more stable and then put out a new release.
