[Insight-developers] Large metaImage file with 32-bit build

[Stephen Aylward]

Makes sense.

Should be backward compatible.

Is your suggested type available on all compilers and platforms?
Note the comment regarding BCC.

Funny thing - two years ago the right way to do this was to use
size_t, and that is what tellp, etc returned.  I'm a bit concerned
that old compilers and won't support your changes, so we may have to
use a compiler-specific typedef.
