The reason that AC_SYS_LARGEFILE is not used is that AC_SYS_LARGEFILE adds defines to configure.h which is fine for normal software, but doesn't work for the Perl extension. The Perl extension requires pre-processor options on the "command line". If we were to take AC_SYS_LARGEFILE and modify it for our purposes, or extract the necessary defines later in the configure script so they could be supplied to PerlMagick, then we could take advantage of it.
