The problem is that we can't include config.h in our API header files.
Maybe we can work around that by installing a different header file depending 
on some configure test and map KIO::filesize_t to a 64 bit integer if we can 
find one (either long or long long) and to a 32 bit integer (long) if we 
can't.

Cheers,
