 wp_delete_comment() decrements the comment count for its parent post by
 subtracting 1 from the current count.  This perpetuates errors created by
 older plugins.  It also doesn't jive with comment creation, in which a
 fresh count is made.

 Maybe in a year or two, after plugins have been all updated to use the API
 functions, we can go back to simple incrementation/decrementation (which
 is faster, and saves a query), but for now, we should try to minimize
 comment count errors and do a fresh count on every change.

 I'll be uploading patches for trunk and the 2.0 branch shortly.
