[GAP] Ada 2005 API

[Andy Wellings]

In the past we have made use of the Ada 95 Language Reference Card 
produced by Intermetrics for our students. We give them a copy for the 
lab work and during the exams. Unfortunately, I only have a scanned 
printed version from Tucker.

It would be nice if this was updated for 2005.
