I hesitate in saying this, because I don't want to take work away  
from anyone, but there's not much to be done here, unless the COM  
server is a requirement.

You can use either sb_bnfilter (the distribution includes a C version  
as well as a pure-Python one) with sb_bnserver.py or  
sb_xmlrpcserver.py to do this (using any C xmlrpc library, or  
manually crafting the xml and handling the socket connection).

If Python won't be available, then a simple py2exe script can create  
binaries of these.

If a COM server is a requirement, then there is work to be done,  
although it's basically all work on creating the COM server (under a  
dozen lines of Python - plus the existing SpamBayes package - can do  
all the rest).
