Comment:

 This looks comparatively solid to me!  A few things to consider as
 possibilities, though maybe they're not needed:

  - Maybe this should printf() something to stdout, instead of using the
 log facility, and run at --quiet by default?
  - Maybe the output format should be machine-readable?
  - Maybe it should dump information about the installed authority auth key
 as well
  - I wonder what it should do about hidden service keys?
  - Technically speaking, keys don't expire: certificates do. The user
 needs to replace both of them, not just one.
  - The buffer in log_ed_key_expiration() can probably just be stack-
 allocated.
  - Documentation on the new option should go into the manpage

 Please fix whatever from above you agree with. :)
