[Zope] LFS (large file support)

[Chris McDonough]

On Linux, at least, compiling and installing Python 2.X with large
file support can be accomplished via:

export CC="gcc -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64"
./configure --prefix=/some/directory --with-thread; make; make install

The Linux kernel and C libraries need to support large files for this
to work.  I have had success on both Debian Woody and Red Hat 7.2+
with this recipe.
