New gcc won't compile libxml++ with -Werror

[elazarl]

When compiling with Werror, errors are thrown for using autoptr

For example

/usr/include/libxml++-2.6/libxml++/validators/relaxngvalidator.h:159:8: warning: ‘template<class> class std::auto_ptr’ is deprecated [-Wdeprecated-declarations]
   std::auto_ptr<Impl> pimpl_;

auto_ptr was depreciated (ie you would have to revert to older versions of gcc/boost/libxml) This repo should be updated to use new repos ie replace auto_ptr with unique_ptr

[elazarl]

@jhenselUNH would you accept a PR that does that?

[JeffHensel]

PR? I believe the older version of ubuntu would have these libs pre-installed but I may be incorrect (12.x, 10.x)

EDIT: I think I am incorrect actually (I know at least gcc doesn't come pre-installed on those distros)

[elazarl]

The problem is not with compiling the package, per se, it would just be nicer if this package would support newer compilers out of the box. I want to submit a pull-request modernizing the code. Would you be interested in merging such a pull request?

I agree if you submit a change request it would be nice to have this repo updated to utilize the newer compiler.

This being said it will be up to the active members of the UNH-IOL to accept/decline the change (since they build on top of these repos we don't want to break any of their code).

Once you post it I can reach out to them about this
