In looking through these I see that I don't have much to add to my
previous email.  The fgetpos and fsetpos modules are not important
(nobody uses those functions, and for good reason).  The other modules
are a more-complicated way of establishing dependencies on largefile
than I'd like (as per my previous email).  These modules don't break
anything, so I suppose they're OK; but I wish it were simpler, as
complexity imposes its own costs.

Perhaps someone else can chime in.
