Changes to automatically enable large file support on some systems.
I believe this works on Linux (tested both on a system with large file support and one without it), and it may work on Solaris 2.7. The changes are twofold: (1) The configure script now boldly tries to set the two symbols that are recommended (for Solaris and Linux), and then tries a test script that does some simple seeking without writing. (2) The _portable_{fseek,ftell} functions are a little more systematic in how they try the different large file support options: first try fseeko/ftello, but only if off_t is large; then try fseek64/ftell64; then try hacking with fgetpos/fsetpos. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. The meaning of the HAVE_LARGEFILE_SUPPORT macro is not at all clear. I'll see if I can get it to work on Windows as well.
