But wouldn't that need to be done from a test program written
in C (that actually used the C header's idea of curl_off_t)
and repeated for each individual platform the binding might be
used on?

Or maybe something like curl_easy_getinfo(CURLINFO_SIZEOF_LARGE)
so applications could determine how to typecast the value at
runtime, but that sounds really messy.
