Applied with revisions --- mostly, you missed updating the
documentation, but also I didn't like the "LL" constant you used in
RELSEG_SIZE.  It's unportable and there might be unexpected side effects
from having the macro represent an int64 constant instead of an integer.
So I had configure do the arithmetic and emit an integer.
