I have added the ability to expire by both days and number of posts.

This way, it's easy to keep huge groups from hogging resources by limiting them to a specific number of posts.

So in your section config file, you put days.
In expire.conf you can ovveride the days for specific groups.
In overrides.inc.php you specify max number of posts if you wish.

Only the section config file is required. You can put zero or '' there to disable expiration.

Also, the new ovverides.inc.php file allows for more fine tuning per site so that hard coded defaults (like how many articles to pull when first adding a group) can be configured without editing files that get over written on upgrade.
