I think it's better to do this incrementally in the trunk, because
this means more extensive testing.  Each incremental set of changes
(see two such changes I committed yesterday) should be safe, so
there's no need to use a separate branch.  The final test is, as
Stefan says, being able to visit and navigate a file larger than 2GB,
at which point the limitation should be lifted.
