[BiO BB] large file uploads

[T.D. Houfek]

I believe there are two separate variables you need to adjust to allow the
upload of large files.  One is the upload_max_filesize you've already
discovered.  The other is called post_max_size.  It specifies an upper limit
on the amount of data allowed in any POST operation -- including file uploads.
So if upload_max_filesize=2G and post_max_size=8M, you will still only be
able to upload file of size <=8M.

At least, that's what I read the other day.  I've never actually tried it.
So let me know if it works, eh?
