Force the library to be compiled with LFS support.
There is a big problem with libraries and LFS support, which happens if you
compile the library with LFS support and the application without, or the
opposite. In that case the library ABI differs and horrible bugs will happen.

This patch prevents it by compiling the library with LFS support always
enabled, and put a check in the header to prevent applications using it
incorrectly (without LFS). It also updates the manpage to reflect this.
