Fixed the typos and changed 'autodie' phrase. New description is:

system-autodeath is a cron job that runs daily, checking the current
time versus a configured death date for the machine. Within one week
of this date the system will emit log notices to syslog.alert notifying
that the system will remove its default network route on a specific date. 
On the date the system will have its default route deleted. It 
will continue to do this every day until someone does something about it.

With regard to the timing:

1. I'll make it a separate source in the config so it is easy to change
2. this pkg will not be installed by default so it's not a risk to anyone
3. basing the date on other values is a bad plan - since we've had to replace
fedora-release in the last 2 releases (f8 and f9) and we're not changing the
EOL for them b/c of the fedora-release rebuild.
4. I'll bump it to 2010-01-15.
