[OpenAFS] AFS+Large file support

[Hartmut Reuter]

The current unstable release 1.3.79 has large file support on client and 
server side. At least if you compile from source you can configure with 
--enable-largefile-support and that compiles the fileserver with large 
file support. I am not sure whether this is possible only with the so 
called namei-fileserver (which stores the data visible in the /vicep 
partition) or also with the classical interface which hides the files in 
the /vicep partition.
