description: 
Automake 1.4p6, 1.6.x and 1.7.x are all parallel installable, since they all contain 
versioned directories and binaries, except:
* /usr/bin/automake
* /usr/bin/aclocal
* info files
the first two can be solved with alternatives, and info files from older automake can 
be installed in %doc of corresponding packages.

Usually, software will bind tightly to specific version(s) of automake (common cases 
are 1.4p? only, or >= 1.6 only), and currently the common practice is to call the 
versioned automake, e.g.

%prep
%setup -q
%patch0 -p1 -b .blah
# this software needs automake 1.4
aclocal-1.4
automake-1.4

instead of executing un-versioned automake.
If 1.7.x can be packaged separately from 1.6.x and have 1.6.x kept in cooker, then 
it's even better.
