I'm not sure the approach of keying the curl_off_t type to the compiler is
the right one. If it's supposed to gated by the off_t type, then it's
really the C library that determines that, not necessarily the compiler.
If it's gated to the availability of a 64 bit type, then it makes sense.
But which does determine whether curl_off_t is 32 bits or 64 bits under
this new approach? Is it the availability of a 64 bit type? Or is it
the availability of a 64 bit off_t type, signifying the ability of the
system to handle large files?
