I thought about making the return values switch types automatically
depending on their magnitude, but eventually decided that was a bit
on the weird side. The test suite ran OK with plain Python longs, so
I left it that way. Also, getting a long back is a clue that large
file support is enabled.

One other thing: on Solaris it's easier to type `getconf LFS_CFLAGS`
than the bizarre defines in the doco, and the result is the same.
