Ada 2005 does not allow returning limited objects from a function. As this
interface should be callable from Ada 95 and Ada 2005 we have changed
the API to return access type instead.

This minor upward compatibility issue is very easy to fix. A ".all" needs
to be added to calls to routines Current_Session and Default_Session.

Tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, committed on trunk

2011-08-03  Pascal Obry  <obry@adacore.com>

	* g-awk.adb, g-awk.ads: Make GNAT.AWK API compatible with Ada 2005.
	(Current_Session): Return a not null access to Session_Type.
	(Default_Session): Likewise.
