It's not necessarily that easy to rebuild old releases --- for instance,
modern versions of bison will spit up on our older grammar files, due to
carelessness about semicolons; and newer C compilers may complain about
things that older ones let pass, too.
Unless we're feeling short of disk space on the server, I'm for leaving
them there somewhere. But definitely mark them old and not-recommended.
