[http://aiksaurus.sourceforge.net] which is a GPL'ed command line and GUI frontend to the gutenberg thesaurus which you have referenced (they distribute a much smaller binary data file with their package). if you did not know of aiksaurus' existence, then maybe its funtionality can aid your elisp. i am not aware of any elisp wrapper to that program, but if you intent to write one, i would most certainly be interrested in using it!! :-D
