Something new to think about, I'm sure we want large file support on 32bit
systems, so at least on linux (and some unixs) we need to use fseeko and
ftello instead of the non o versions.
they happen to be SUSv2, and POSIX.1-2001, is that enough? I was planning on
adding a check in cmake for them, but the allegro api will change depending if
they exist or not... fseek/ftell deal with 'long', fseeko/ftello deal with
off_t (which is 64bit with the right defines set).
So supporting both versions means incompatible dlls...
