  Add dependencies to the 'largefile' module.
  
  * modules/fopen (Depends-on): Add 'largefile'.
  * modules/freopen (Depends-on): Likewise.
  * modules/fseeko (Depends-on): Likewise.
  * modules/ftello (Depends-on): Likewise.
  * modules/glob (Depends-on): Likewise.
  * modules/lseek (Depends-on): Likewise.
  * modules/lstat (Depends-on): Likewise.
  * modules/mkostemp (Depends-on): Likewise.
  * modules/mkostemps (Depends-on): Likewise.
  * modules/mkstemp (Depends-on): Likewise.
  * modules/mkstemps (Depends-on): Likewise.
  * modules/open (Depends-on): Likewise.
  * modules/openat (Depends-on): Likewise.
  * modules/pread (Depends-on): Likewise.
  * modules/pwrite (Depends-on): Likewise.
  * modules/scandir (Depends-on): Likewise.
  * modules/stat (Depends-on): Likewise.
  * modules/tmpfile (Depends-on): Likewise.
  * m4/mkstemp.m4 (gl_FUNC_MKSTEMP): Do not require AC_SYS_LARGEFILE,
  since the containing module now depends on the largefile module.
  * m4/tempname.m4 (gl_FUNC_GEN_TEMPNAME): Likewise.
  * doc/posix-functions/fopen.texi: Mention that the problem of 32-bit
  off_t is fixed by gnulib.

  Gnulib module: fopen
  
  Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  This function does not fail when the file name argument ends in a slash
  and (without the slash) names a nonexistent file or a file that is not a
  directory, on some platforms:
  HP-UX 11.00, AIX 7.1, Solaris 9, Irix 5.3.
  @item
  On platforms where @code{off_t} is a 32-bit type, @code{fopen} may not work
  correctly with files larger than 2 GB.  (Cf. @code{AC_SYS_LARGEFILE}.)
  @item
  On Windows platforms (excluding Cygwin), this function does usually not
  recognize the @file{/dev/null} filename.
  @end itemize
  
  Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  On Windows platforms (excluding Cygwin), this function does not set @code{errno}
  upon failure.
  @item
  On Windows, this function returns a file stream in ``text'' mode by default;
  this means that it translates @code{'\n'} to CR/LF by default.  Use the
  @code{"b"} flag if you need reliable binary I/O.
  @item
  On Windows platforms (excluding Cygwin), this function fails to open
  directories for reading.  Such streams have implementation-defined
  semantics on other platforms.  To avoid directory streams with a
  consistent error message, use @code{fstat} after @code{open} and
  @code{fdopen}, rather than @code{fopen} and @code{fileno}.
  @end itemize
