You may wish to read the existing dirvish-expire; it's pretty much 
autonomous from the other dirvish programs.  What I meant is that I 
can't think of any reason you couldn't base another expire program on 
that code and have it do pretty much anything you want.  I also believe, 
though would have to reconfirm, that all existing dirvish code simply 
ignores any keywords in the configuration files which it doesn't 
understand.  All another way of saying that you could add another 
program to the suite of dirvish programs without making any changes to 
the existing code while still being as well integrated as the rest of 
it.  (All to be proved, of course.)
