Description

As we compile qpid with warnings turned to errors this causes the build to fail by default when compiling with GCC6.

The simplest "fix" is just to turn of deprecation warnings.

A better fix would be to stop using auto_ptr. An good alternative in the context of qpid would be boost::scoped_ptr.

If we change the base C++ version for qpid we could use std::unique_ptr instead.
