I just tested to add some keywords in the *scratch* buffer, but I can
not get any changes to the fontification of the comment.
There was a discussion about the highlighting regular expressions
before. hi-lock-mode seems to do a similar thing. I do not understand
what it does, but does it not do a bit more to achieve the highlighting
everywhere in the buffer? (hi-lock-mode works ok for me.)

Give a complete recipe.
Works fine for me:
(font-lock-add-keywords nil '(("FOOBAR" 0 font-lock-warning-face t)))
Now type:
;; FOOBAR is a warning
(You need to do something to trigger refontification.)

It works for me too now. Obviously I did something else than I thought.
Maybe I did not trigger enough refontification, don't know.
