[physfs] open for append & seek & write?

[Indy Sams]

Hello Vaclav,

      Yep, the is the intended/correct behavior of PHYSFS_openAppend.

      Also note, you should be using 64-bit type specifiers in your
      printf statements. For Win32 (MSVC) it is %I64d, for GCC use %lld,
      I typically just have a define like I64FMT for this so you don't
      have to duplicate code.
