Crafty automatic file deletion?

My .logout contain a call to _find to automatically remove files
satisfying certain criteria. I would like the file's name to provide
the criterion. For example, files
letter.rm.60.tex
c_hack.rm.120.c
would be automatically removed if unmodified for 60 and 120 days.
(Of course, I could put the specific numbers "60" and "120" into my
call to _find. I would like this to work, automatically, for all
numbers that are valid to, say, the -mtime switch of _find.)
Can this be done by _find or by some other program?
Thank you.
