  (Depends-on): Add largefile.
  * m4/ftruncate.m4 (gl_FUNC_FTRUNCATE): Drop failure message on
  non-mingw platforms.

  Gnulib module: ftruncate
  
  Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  This function is missing on some platforms:
  MSVC 9.
  @item
  On platforms where @code{off_t} is a 32-bit type, this function is not
  applicable to arbitrary lengths for files larger than 2 GB.  The fix is to
  use the @code{AC_SYS_LARGEFILE} macro.
