[gst-devel] large file support

[vishnu at pobox.com]

The following patch to configure.base solves the problems with
large files and filesrc.  i'm surprised that no further changes
were required to filesrc, but it suddenly works fine:

  ./gstreamer-launch filesrc location=/opt/vast/cache/gwh.vob ! fakesink

produces lots of:

  fakesink: chain   ******* (fakesink0:sink)< (4096 bytes, -1)

i haven't tested all the plugins, but things should be mostly OK.
Can i commit the attached patch?
