I had one, I was working on GCC bootstrapping... It's not a big deal if 
we just remove the older versions.

The problem I wanted to make us notice is we were keeping the 2.64 
version and we didn't really provide any compatible automake, so the 
autoconf@2.64 was almost useless.

If no package uses those, it's ok to remove. I can always time-machine 
around the problem.

Thanks!
