Pull request description:

  Use `std::unique_ptr` (C++11) where possible.

  Rationale:
  1. Avoid resource leaks (specifically: forgetting to `delete` an object created using `new`)
  2. Avoid undefined behaviour (specifically: double `delete`:s)

  **Note to reviewers:** Please let me know if I've missed any obvious `std::unique_ptr` candidates. Hopefully this PR should cover all the trivial cases.
