That is easy on Unix:

  $ gpg --list-keys --with-colons \
    | awk -F: -v days=60 \
      'BEGIN { from=systime(); to=from+(days*86400)};\
       $1=="pub" && $7 > from && $7 < to { found=1 };
       $1=="fpr" && found {found=0; \
          print "key " $10 " expires in the next " days " days"}'

A really proper solution would use a function to decode field 7 because
it may in the future be shown as YYYYMMDDTHHMMSS (actually gpgsm does it
this way).

I will consider to allow the expiration date for the --list-filter which
could then be used on Windows (i.e. w/o awk) as well.
