Can the devs please modify the configure scripts and add these
two flags to enable large file support by default?

I've tested this on Linux.

And this will work with zlib and wireshark enabled as well? If not:
 There are many more users for whom zlib and gui support is much
more important.

It should work with Wireshark(..which is independent of how files are
read/written..), but zlib will not.
