Well I have three different autoconf versions: 2.63 is the default
version shipping with centos6, and 2.59 and 2.69 in my home folder.
I also have 4 different automake versions.  Making one, e.g. the most
recent, the default by putting on PATH takes away the flexibility
for me.

I'll let you decide.
