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.
