GEOS has accepted to require C++11 [1] as minimum C++ standard.
It means, we are free to use C++11 features in the codebase;
replace deprecated std::auto_ptr with std::unique_ptr and std::shared_ptr, etc.

Although RFC 5 opens the road to C++ modernization,
I don't plan any big refactoring though
If things change, they will change gradually.
