This is probably a dumb question, but I never let that bother me before. I 
have multiple copies of both:

automake: 2.13.000227_5; 2.53_3; 2.59_2
autoconf: 1.4.6_2; 1.5_2,1; 1.96

Is it really necessary to have the older versions installed, or can I just 
remove them? Actually, I did remove an older version of autoconf once, but 
it just got reinstalled again.
