The spelling "adaptor" was chosen vs. "adapter" as
Adapter: A Person who adapt to a certain situation.
Adaptor: An Inanimate object designed to adapt one thing to another.
This may be more of a UK vs. USA English thing. If the naming is a
roadblock we can change it.
But it is nice being able to grep for unique strings. :-)
