"Co-ordinate" is the British, Canadian, and American-from-n-decades-ago
spelling.  The modern American spelling is "coordinate," and it looks
like the British spelling is moving to that too.  Canadians really
like the hyphen though :).  Since it looks like NetBSD is
standardizing on the American spellings, we should go with "coordinate."
