So, I think I know why ASLExpireTime had no effect on the making
messages persist in the main database.
It looks like syslogd has to be started with the -a flag to enable
archiving. When I added the flag to the ProgramArguments section of /
System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.syslogd.plist, the messages
correctly expired and the database was archived daily. However, in a
standard Mac OS X installation, the flag is omitted and archiving is
disabled - old messages are purged from /var/log/asl.db weekly and the
log database starts fresh.
I guess the only option is to use asl_add_log_file() and manage the
log files manually.
