Hi,

I discovered subtle issue in the new suggested implementation of auto_ptr
after John Potter noticed some odd requirement of 8.5.3/5/2/1/2.
8.5.3/5/2/1/2 mandates that in case that during the initialization of
reference from non const rvalue additional temporary is constructed then the
temporary is of *const* type.

This can be easily workaround by making the auto_ptr member *mutable*.

Although I'm certain that the "const temporary" requirement is defective for
class types (and AFAIKT this paragraph will be revised due to DR #391) and
it probably not relevant to any existing implementation I have no intention
to let any auto_ptr known subtlety to be overlooked.

Thanks,
Rani
