The idea is to still allow rsync to run with 32-bit offsets if the
maximum filesize for a system fits in 32 bits.  I haven't seen anyplace
where the code is adversely affected by falling back to 32 bits that
isn't already double-checked to ensure that the necessary 64 bits are
actually present (for instance, the md4 calculation avoids this problem
by using two 32-bit numbers to calculate its 64-bit total).  Also, there
are some systems where the define that use that "off_t" define to get
the system's 64-bit data type.
