* SUMMARY
I think we should implement our own PassOwnPtr templates and get rid of
std::auto_ptr.

1. You can't do this with auto_ptr without getting compilation errors:

    class SomeClass;
    [...]
    virtual auto_ptr<SomeClass> createSomeClass() { return 0; }

2. When you fix the above code, it requires you do the following *and* include
the whole SomeClass.h header instead of just using a class predeclaration:

    #include "SomeClass.h"
    [...]
    virtual auto_ptr<SomeClass> createSomeClass() { return
auto_ptr<SomeClass>(); }

Lame.

3. Looking at auto_ptr and OwnPtr, you wouldn't know they're related (like
PassRefPtr and RefPtr).
