Thanks David.  Some comments:

First, of course, we really need patches against the 3.0 tree in SVN.
We may not release a 2.64 and even if we do, it might not include this
and we'd still need 3.0 code regardless.

> 1.  Supports a new function, age_out_awl, which allows for aging of the

I think we don't want a special call for this.  It should just happen.
At most, we should have a configuration option for how long to keep these,
but I think even that is probably excessive and unwanted.

Sounds good, I guess.

This really belongs in a different bug.

Existing DB file, you mean.  Yes, I think shrinking is a must given how
large AWL must be by now.  It might be easiest just to nuke it and start
from scratch.  Read my initial two comments.
