Whoops, must have missed that.  Sorry about this, this is now in my sumo queue.

Yes, it's still in progress.  I was hacking on it a bit more thing

binary during QA and warn if a 32-bit executable is linking to the
non-largefile functions.  Obviously its 2.6 material now but I hope
I'll get around to finishing it off.
