Is it D-Bus, DBus, D-BUS or dbus?

[John (J5) Palmieri]

We are talking about the print name, not modules or code to be clear.
This is how people should blog about D-BUS or write books and articles
about it.  So you would call them the D-BUS Haskel bindings if we were
to chose that variant but the module would be DBus.  I don't think names
should be restricted to symbol name bounds (e.g. the GNOME prepends its
modules with gnome)
