Email Drupal Comments for Approval to Admin Email Address

The Need

Back in the Drupal 5 days, there was a wonderfully made little module called: Comment Mail that would e-mail the site administrator if there were any new comments on the site needing approval.

That is fine and dandy on a Windows XP Professional version, but XP Home is a different ballgame.
