Hmmm ... LFS support for genindex.c is easy, nevertheless the index.vdr
files will be broken because the struct tIndex from VDR does not
support longs or unsigned longs but on ints (four characters) ...
in other words: If VDR can not handle file sizes larger than int max
it makes no sence to do it for genindex.c.  AFAIK moving VDR from
file sizes given in ints to longs isn't that simple IMHO this would
require a lot of work.
