In INN 2.2, expireover had 2 very usefull options which were removed in
INN 2.3:

       -a     The ``-a'' flag reads the spool directory and  adds
              any missing overview entries.  It will create files
              if necessary.  This can be  used  to  initialize  a
              database,  or  to  sync up a overview database that
              may be lacking articles due to a  crash.   Overchan
              should  be  running,  to  ensure  that any incoming
              articles get included.  Using this flag implies the
              ``-s''  flag;  the  ``-f''  flag may be used to add
              only a subset of the newsgroups.

       -s     If  the  ``-s''  flag is used, then expireover will
              read the spool directory for all  groups  mentioned
              in  the  active(5)  file,  and  remove the overview
              entries of any articles that do not appear  in  the
              directory.

The -s option was particulary usefull to remove entries of canceled or
superseded articles from the overview. How can we get the same
functionality in INN 2.3 ?
