The thing I don't like about this is that it implies that there will 
always be pairs of lists, one good and one bad.  This isn't the case if 
you download a spam-list from someone else.  While everyone's spam tends 
to look the same, everyone's ham (non-spam mail) looks very different, and 
I don't think it's workable to be downloading ham-lists from the net.

I'm not entirely sure how well this would work, but I would like to be 
able to download a handful of giant spam-lists from folks on the net, and 
use those instead of needing a big spam-archive to start with.  It 
provides a nice jumping-off point if you've been deleting all your spam.

I'd rather just see a ~/.bogofilter/bogofilterrc file that lists user 
preferences.

Plus, I think monster command-lines are a pain and prone to error.
