On a slight tangent to this thread, could I suggest another
useful enhacement to expire, for anyone with some energy?

I'd be happier if expire checked for the existence of .DEL files
(as created for SnzPrune), and either skipped ngs with outstanding
.DELs or deleted the .DELs.

I run Prune after each run of Snews, so I'm safe, but it's danger
that I dislike.
