Ah - a question I asked myself many times until I watched the WWDC videos where 
clearly it was meant to be so obvious that it was perhaps assumed anyone would 
just understand how to do it. 

Select one button, then shift-select the other, you now have two buttons 
selected. At the bottom right-hand corner of the main pane of interface builder 
is a small, grey, pill-shaped control you perhaps missed, it looks greyed out 
and inactive, but it's not. The middle piece of it is a bit like a capital H, 
click that. At the bottom it says 'Widths Equally", click that. That should add 
the constraint you want. Alternatively I'm sure you clicked the Edit menu 
button and found nothing there, but it was there, it's called Pin instead of 
Constrain. 

If you have not watched the WWDC 2012 videos, and have access to them, I really 
advise watching all (there's 2 or 3 I don't recall) presentations on 
Autolayout. When I first saw that feature I thought, bah, springs and struts 
are fine, who needs this. Then I watched the videos. They are packed with great 
demos, great tips and after I'd watched them I had a completely different 
opinion and I'm very much looking forward to using them in anger soon.
