Has anyone looked into how this should affect any disk utilization
calculations we make? At a minimum, I'd like to see any utilization
displayed to the user to break out space used for deleted programs
separately from other programs and free space. Perhaps the storage
group code needs to factor in space used by deleted programs too.

I use a single mythbackend, and following Chris Pinkham's advice, the patch
works as expected so far.
It autoexpires livetv programs, programs in the "Deleted" recgroup, then
regular programs respectively.

I'll commit what i got in a couple of weeks and folks with multiple backends
can test it out.
Also mythweb translations and mythweb templates need to be updated if this
becomes a desirable feature.
I can modify BackendQueryDiskSpace() to show how much space is taken by the
"Deleted" Recgroup but
I'm not sure how to show this for folks with multiple backends.
