I tried that now and it doesn't seem to suffice to override the SUBDIRS
directive. There are some other references as well.

As I would like to see these feature in the 2009.08 release, I suggest
to take it as it is now and amend it later to maybe eventually drop the
LARGEFILE dependency again. Does that sound feasible?
