I believe that the different versions are there because there are packages
which require specific versions of automake to build.  I wouldn't worry too
much about it:  it's only used for buids, not running applications, and any
package that wants a different version will call up the one it wants.  You
can only have one version installed at a time, but you can go ahead and
build all of them.
