Can we merge them further? Firstly, there's the similarilty between the two notices that Henri notied. Secondly, it would be good to have the option of only fining patrons if we've successfully sent a notice (successful as far as reaching our outgoing mailserver, anyway). Thirdly, the fewer cronjobs the better! They are one of the main stumbling blocks for new sysadmins installing koha, in my experience. If there's a strong reason for fines.pl and overdue_notices.pl to remain split, go ahead like that.
