What about this scenario: libcurl is built without LFS, and the app is built
with. The library will then be expecting a long while the app will be
providing a long long. The naive approach of checking sizeof(off_t)
in the header file will fail in this case. I can't think of how to do the
right thing in this case without either a run-time size check or encoding
the actual size expected in a curl header file.
