I think it is worthwhile looking at the details of unique_ptr and
differences. Howard Hinnant describes this well and provides an
implementation of unique_ptr for c++03. May be overkill and as crypto++ use
of auto_ptr is limited and potentially safer than usual, maybe an ifdef
block could be used although template typedefs are really also a c++11
feature, so care required AFAIK cross compiler with such a feature in c++03
implementations.

Anyway this link is worth a read
