In the 1.2.3.2, off64_t is used only when _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE is  
defined, and both are done only if the off64_t type is in sys/types.h  
when _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE is defined.

I used off64_t since I could test for it in configure and know for  
sure that the compiler option made sense and that the type is 64  
bits.  I'm not sure I like a solution where there is always a (long) - 
D compiler option that may or may not be relevant.

Yes, I plan to add fseeko() detection to configure.
