We (Red Hat) usually ship a few different auto* tools with the 
prefixes.  If you want, why don't you check for them first?  i.e.:

if [ -x /usr/bin/autoconf-2.13 ]; then
    /usr/bin/autoconf-2.13
fi

etc.  I have quite a few on my system at the moment:

[blizzard at dead blizzard]$ rpm -qa|grep ^auto
automake-1.7.5-1
autofs-3.1.7-38
automake14-1.4p6-7
autoconf-2.57-3
autoconf213-2.13-6
autorun-3.10-2
automake15-1.5-9
