Hi Hieu,

Yes, I have everything working together with the caveat about order in the
moses.ini file (https://github.com/moses-smt/mosesdecoder/pull/124).  The
mmsapt files might be dependent on Boost version so I also included the
aligned bitext I used to build the model and rebuilt the tarball:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6trVKD0-obBRHFjMGxRZTJvV1U/view?usp=sharing.
I made it a pull request instead of just merging it into master so you guys
could look over the changes since technically the default behavior could
change if the moses.ini file lists phrase tables before other features.

Best,
Michael
