The current packaged version of automake in Cygwin is 1.9.6, which is
contained in the "automake1.9" package.  You should install that if you
need a more recent version.  The packages named "automake",
"automake-devel", and "automake-stable" are all empty obsolete packages
from before the changeover.  You should remove them if you have them
installed, since they serve no purpose any more.
