Simple Comment Spam Reducing Plugin.

Because my server's fan is making a funny noise, I bought a new Mac
Mini,
which caused me to upgraded my copy of PyBlosxom to 1.3.2, and thus lose
most of my changes to the plugins.

Specifically, I added in some code to prevent comments on entries from
more
than 28 days ago.  Since there is a nice new comment api now, I decided
to
rewrite my code as a separate plugin, in the hopes that other's of you
could
use it.  And so I'll add it at the end of this message.  If there are
any
comments, questions, or suggestions, I'ld be happy to answer them.  I
also
hereby release the following code into the Public Domain, so if anyone
wants
to clean it up, and put it in a registry, or something, feel free to.
