We currently enable an option in GCC that produces warnings for various problems,
one of them being the usage of deprecated items. We also enable an option which
treats warnings as errors so that warnings do not creep into code that gets out there.

Since auto_ptr is marked as deprecated this essentially stops the build.

There's three options:

1. Update the usage of auto_ptr to the world of C++0x like I have done in my c++0x branch.

2. Disable warning on usage of deprecated items.

3. Use boost.
