If you use a released autoconf, you are independent of the version of
automake already installed (bootstrapping a CVS version of autoconf is a
different matter, but the OP does not appear to need to do that, since he
is not developing autoconf patches).  It is the other way around -
automake tends to have rather strict requirements on which version of
autoconf is already installed.  Therefore, you should ask on the automake
list if you want a table of automake versions corresponding to autoconf
versions.

I encountered no problems installing autoconf 2.61 followed by automake
1.10 into the same --prefix, then using that new prefix for my programs.
