AWS SDK for .NET Framework 4.5

The version of the SDK for .NET compiled against .NET Framework 4.5 supports the same set of services

as version 1 of SDK for .NET. However, it uses a different pattern for asynchronous calls. Instead of the

Begin/End pattern it uses the task-based pattern, which allows developers to use the new async and

await keywords introduced in C# 5.0.
