I've been trying to get large file support to work on my debian and redhat
boxen. After a couple hours of arguing with defines, I found that the
following patch lets Configure -detect- 64-bit fpos_t and off_t - but if
<features.h> isn't included in the source somewhere (my thoughts suggest
perl.h) then each file is be compiled with 32-bit fpos_t and off_t, which is
not good for those of us trying to use large files. So, where do I #include
<features.h>? I'm at a loss what to do from here.
