You can call any specific version by name (e.g. automake-1.9) but the
unversioned command "automake" has to be set to the desired version.
You do this with the "alternatives" command. See also
<http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2005-07/msg00361.html> and
<http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=cygwin&m=112528219929429&w=4>.

You should deselect/uninstall the -stable and -devel packages, they are
just placeholders that require the new packages.
