An extension to add it wouldn't be too hard to write, although a bit
of a performance drain on a large site. It depends on the traffic and
performance levels desired.
I'd think that there are some other questions about just what the
right specifications for such a feature should be.
For example, let's say that you don't have a CDROM article now but one
gets added in the future. Should existing pages be rescanned to
generate auto-links?
A more subtle issue is how to deal with ambiguity. Perhaps this is
less of a problem with a narrow purpose wiki, but for wikipedia...
