If you are using 1.0.x (or 0.9.8.5, I'm not sure that this feature is
backported though) you can use SBOX_DEFAULT_AUTOMAKE env variable:

SBOX_DEFAULT_AUTOMAKE
        Specifies which automake version the 'automake' command points
        to.  Available versions are 1.4, 1.7 and 1.8 (default).

SBOX_DEFAULT_AUTOCONF
        Specifies which autoconf version the 'autoconf' command points
        to.  Available versions are 2.13 and 2.59 (you can also
        specify 2.50 which is an alias for 2.59).  The default is to
        automatically guess the appropriate version, so you should not
        set this variable under normal circumstances.
