ChangeLog:

* Wed Apr  9 2008 Michael Schwendt <mschwendt at fedoraproject.org> - 0.48-7
- Build with large file API (#441638).
* Tue Mar 18 2008 Michael Schwendt <mschwendt at fedoraproject.org> - 0.48-6
- Delete the "suspect PHP files" check. Not only does it trigger
  SIGPIPE for file names which contain special unescaped characters,
  the second half is doubtful (it doesn't print any filenames and
  gets confused by binary file contents).

- Initialise two variables in chkdirs.c to silence compiler.

- rebuilt for GCC 4.3 as requested by Fedora Release Engineering
  (only in devel)
