For g++-4.4 support for nullptr is not complete. Using it
to initialize an empty shared_ptr breaks compilation:
/home/mblatt/src/dune/opm/opm-autodiff/opm/autodiff/AutoDiffHelpers.hpp: In constructor ‘Opm::HelperOps::HelperOps(const Grid&, Opm::EclipseStateConstPtr)’:
/home/mblatt/src/dune/opm/opm-autodiff/opm/autodiff/AutoDiffHelpers.hpp:87: error: no match for ternary ‘operator?:’ in ‘(bool)eclState ? eclState->.Opm::EclipseState::getNNC() : nullptr’

Here no conversion to shared_ptr happens.

Here the DUNE's nullptr implementation is used with std::shared_ptr which are not
compatible.
We fix this by using the emptry constructor of std::shared_ptr to create a nullptr.
