Notify for Changes AND Node replies AND Comment replies in one module

Hi. I didn't realize I had posted to a closed issue, "consider merging projects," so I'm creating this feature request. Anyone interested may see my full comments at the aforementioned post.

I note that the two modules comment_notify and comment_subscribe share a lot of code. For example, it seems that if you use both modules, you'll get the same notification twice in certain circumstances, the message being...

"ATTENTION: your comment is NOT YET posted - please click the post button to confirm your post"

For this reason and for code efficiency, I would like to use just one module, and this one's fine.

1. Regardless, to make the language on a site better able to reflect the tone of the site, perhaps comment_subscribe could allow the admin to customize the check box prompt messages (without hacking the node, which is easy enough of course until update time and doesn't seem to be the Drupal way).

When looking at that and considering hacking it, I noticed that the code and admin screens for comment_subscribe offer a choice (made by the admin) to EITHER offer notification of node changes or comment changes. This choice made by the admin means the user does not get to make this choice using just the one module. I wonder if the If/Else's could be removed to offer both a node reply notify and a comment notify notify (avoiding dupes might be an issue). I'll check that as time allows.

I also see some code about notification of changes to the original article, if I understand correctly. This brings me to things I would like to have you consider...the code seems to be there for the most part already in comment_subscribe:

2. * Instead of having the admin choose whether to offer notification of all replies to the node or notification of replies to the specific comment, I'd like to see 3 checkboxes at the bottom of each comment form (and the first as the only choice for a node writing form):
* Email me when any comment is made in reply to the original article.
* Email me when any comment is made in reply to this specific comment.
* Email me when changes are made to the original article.
Of course the user should not get duplicate notifications if possible (but could probably live with it),

3. On my site, anons can't post, but I would like to allow reg users and maybe anons who pass a captcha to sign up for email notifications on any article or comment, not just ones to which they have contributed. Perhaps this module already does that (don't think so), or there is already a module for that which I have not found.

Also, perhaps, I'm not making sense at all. I appreciate the work of the authors of comment_subscribe and comment_notify!
