The Robot folks have an "Age Output Queue" command. When run against an output queue it adds a +01 to the end of the user description field for everything in the queue. You also set a maximum number for the queue. Every time the program runs the number is incremented. When the document reaches the number you've set, it's deleted.

It's a relatively simple process; you can probably write a program to do the same thing fairly easily; there's an API to retrieve the contents of the queue.

The way we have the command set to run all queues are 'aged' weekly and files disappear after 2 weeks; other queues are aged on a more frequent basis. Some we have added to a "Never Age" list so the contents never disappear.
