 to remove the --enable-largefile configure option and issue a warning if
 LFS is not available.

 Our experience has been that configure warnings get overlooked. For
 anything remotely important, the policy is to generate an error, on the
 assumption that the user won't overlook having to re-run configure with an
 extra --without-something switch.

 FWIW, this specific issue should be easy enough to fix: wrap the test for
 $ac_cv_largefiles inside a test for $enable_largefile.
