    [greg-dev] Update Interval Patch

    Hello all,
    
      I have written a configuration option to only have a feed updated on a
    certain interval.  It does this by setting the MAGPIE_CACHE_AGE constant before
    the feed is updated.
    
      What this allows is not having to refresh every feed at every refresh
    period.  Intead, one can set the cache age to 360 minutes and only have it
    check for an update 4 times a day.  This is useful for feeds that one knows
    don't change very often and also saves the bandwidth of the queries to check for
    changes.
    
      For feeds that support it, it will import the "updateperiod" of the feed
    when it is added.  If it doesn't, it will default to the refreshafter config
    variable, unless that option is 0, then the default is 60.
    
      Is there an official place to upload this patch for review/inclusion or should
    I just send it to the list?
    
      Thanks,
        Chris
