Hi Mark,
Thank you very much. That's what I was kind of afraid of. Its fine to
script it, just would be nice to have a built in function. :-) Thank
you again.
Note, when writing such a script, you will get the best performance by
destroying the snapshots in order from oldest to newest. (And FYI, 'zfs
destroy -R' does the snapshot destroys in this order too.)

Sorta-kinda. You can use 'zfs get' to get the creation time of a
snapshot. If you give it -p, it'll provide the seconds-since-epoch time
so, with a little fancy footwork, this is scriptable.
