+Omit large files support (LFS), needed for files >=2GB on most 32Bit Unix
+systems. The size of DVI and GF files must always be <2GB. With LFS there
+should be no limit on the size of PDF files created by pdfTeX or PS files
+created by dvips. The size of PDF images included by pdfTeX must, however,
+be <4GB when using xpdf and <2GB when using libpoppler (even on 64Bit
