Unobtrusive, self-hosted comments function to put onto existing web pages

I am building a new site which will consist of a mix of dynamic and static pages.I would like to add commenting functionality to those pages with as little work as possible. I'm curious as to whether such a solution exists in PHP.The ideal set of features would be:
  • Completely independent from the surrounding page / site: PHP code gets dropped into page, a page ID is added, done.
  • Simple "write a comment" form
  • Comments for each page are displayed using a PHP function
  • Nice, clean output of \[code\]<ul><li>....\[/code\] that can be styled by the surrounding site
  • Optional Captcha
  • Optional Gravatar sensitivity
  • Minimalistic administration area to moderate/delete comments, no ACL, can protect it using .htaccess
The ideal integreation would be like this:\[code\]<?php show_comments("my_page_name"); ?>\[/code\]this would 1. display a form to add a new comment that gets automatically associtated with \[code\]my_page_name\[/code\]; and 2. display all comments that were made through this form using this ID.Does anybody know a solution like this?\[quote\] Bounty I am setting up a bounty because while there were some good suggestions, they all point to external services. I'm really curious to see whether there isn't anything self-hosted around. If this doesn't exist yet, it sure would be great to see as an Open Source project. \[/quote\]
