I'm just trying to conform with the rest of sbase. The CFLAGS include
`-ansi -pedantic -Wall` and I don't want my code to compile with
warnings.

I actually didn't think of `off_t`. I just knew that `long` wouldn't
cut it, and that
I needed some type that could count the entire size of a file. That actually
seems like a great choice, since that will allow split to scale, in case the
128-bit filesystem takes over.
