• Attempt to realize #700 by adding a CLI parameter to modify the biggie file size limit. By default 64 MB.
• Also with previous commit, fixes #700 by using blocks, and adapting autoconf to use it as well.

+Gives the maximum size of a biggie file (by default 64 MB). The value should 
+be given in kB. Example use \-M 128000 to have biggie being more than 128 MB.

+Star is an alternative to afio. Can be useful for distributions considering
+that afio is not free enough due to its age and old licenses (wrongly in our
+opinion). Star can be used to have a better support of sparse file compared to
+afio. Also star supports natively POSIX ACLs, where as afio requires a special 
+additional handlling.
