[MOAB-dev] problem with configure.in

[Tim Tautges]

Ok, that must be it.  I'll ask my configure person, Jason, about it when 
he returns from vacation.

Note that if you have a system with the older version of autoconf, you 
can do a 'make dist' there, which will generate a tarball (with 
configure script), which should work on the target system.
