If I were to drop the cnews expire into a 2.11.17 system,
it looks like the only compatibilty issues would be:

	1. locking -- need to have the cnews expire flock (a BSD system) 
	   the active file

	2. Expires: headers would be ignored because 2.11 wouldn't
	   put that data into the history file.  Though it looks
	   like it wouldn't be difficult to get 2.11 inews to insert
	   a cnews expiry field in the history file ...  Hmm.

Have I overlooked anything?  Comments?
