JIKESPATH environment variable is used to provide path to the standard
library files of JRE (rt.jar etc.), because the standard javac
compiler knows where those are, but jikes does not. I found the
explanation in its FAQ, [1].

Anyway, whoever needs that can write its own setenv.sh.
The latest version of jikes, 1.22, has the following in its release
notes on Sourceforge:
"This release supports compilation using the rt.jar shipped with the
released version of Java 5.0, but otherwise has no more support for
new language features than 1.21 did." [2]
Because Jikes does not support Java 6 [2][3], I think we can drop its
support starting with Tomcat 7.

The following files mention jikes and will need to be updated:
bin/setclasspath.sh
conf/web.xml
webapps/docs/jasper-howto.xml.
+1 for removing (finally something that will shrink a startup file)
