So, several millenia (at least) have passed since I asked this question,
and I haven/t responded to let everyone know how I'm doing with it.

Well, there's a very good reason for that- I haven't done anything yet.

I haven't gotten any comment spam since I asked my question, so my fury
as fizzled a bit.  I am pretty sure though that it will one day become a
problem again.  If and when that day arrives, I think the solution I
will use (as it requires the least maitenance on my part and would
therefore be better for other users) will be parsing the MT blacklist
(http://www.jayallen.org/comment_spam/blacklist.txt) like Laurel suggested.

Anyway, that's about it.  Just wanted to let everyone know where I
stand.
