Daniel, that is correct.  I have merely verified that the library works
with large file support enabled and have added the option only so that
those who wish to use the library in this configuration can easily compile
it themselves.  I expect that the standard Linux distributions will not
use this option as it would break binary compatibility (and because the
vast majority of libraries in use today do not support large files).
