I'm in the same boat.  AC_PROG_GREP was apparently added in 2.60.  I  
tried just copying the AC_PROG_GREP and AC_PROG_SED defs from a 2.60  
autoconf installation (on a different machine) to the m4 subdir in  
moses, but it still doesn't work.  Now it complains about a bunch of  
BOOST stuff.  I think the Boost checks use deeper features of  
autoconf, which are not present in 2.59.
