Can freebsd 14 work with older bins?

The previosu method of these hard coded version numbers was a pain as i 
have to adapt different scripts and the websit to newer versions so and 
i don't want that.

(We could put more bins in the installer for a platform and then let the 
install.sh choose what bins to fetch but even then the question is how 
far do we go back in time.)

We could add a flag to the installer thaqt doesn't update the binaries 
but intead (advices) to build the bins but it assumes Cmake and gcc to 
be installed (we could cheat and use an existing cmake made make file).
