I've tested this successfully but have one question about how it works: After
running the script, the holds get an expiration date of today. Running
cronjobs/holds/cancel_expired_holds.pl immediately afterwards will cancel
expired holds, but only those with an expiration date *less* than today. So
none of the holds expired by this new script will be cancelled. If I then run
the new script again with the --charge option the user will get double fines.

I know this isn't they way the script would typically be run, but it's
worrisome to me.

On another note, testing this makes me wonder: Why don't we simply set an
expiration date at the time the hold is marked waiting, based on the
ReservesMaxPickupDelay setting?
