[MOAB-dev] Configure error with README.moabuse

I just did but the error persists. I'm at -r5820.

You did not update the configure script to remove references to
moabuse and hence it still fails. You will have to update config_files
in config.status and any other references to these files in the
configure script. Also, you can add the header and sources to the
installation by adding them part of AM_INSTALL or some other variable.
So please revert the *.in for sources.

Autotools is a small learning curve. These are easy mistakes to fix
and so no worries.

Best,
Vijay
