I don't like that at all.  This is exactly the job that
autoconf/automake are meant for, and adding YAD that won't work on
many, if not most, systems sounds like a BadIdea(tm).   For now, I
think we should have 'make' pull in any CFLAGS environment vars and
specify that _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE is required on 32 bit machines.

Thoughts?
