Right, in this case, libcurl is lost. But if we do the above change in
the header, then passing the real CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE_LARGE code can
be considered an error, because this means that in the application
sizeof(curl_off_t) == 8.

Well, almost. Currently, the programmer can hardcode the 30120 option
code and pass the correct type... :-(
