  Log:
  Change CDROM to CD-ROM in the word list, since the later seems to be
  most widely used.  This is not really a change of policy, just
  documenting the current de facto policy.
  
  Quoting blackend (but don't blame this commit on him):
  
          CD-ROM seems to be the more widely used spelling, most of new
          additions use CD-ROM, "legacy" docs use CDROM.  Since CD-ROM
          may be seen as the right solution, let's keep the old spelling
          for the moment and just use CD-ROM in every new additions.
  
  Semi-intresting google statistics: 9,950,000 hits for CDROM,
  28,800,000 hits for "CD-ROM".
