I think the file <endian.hpp> needs to be refactored. It is turning into a mess. We need to make it clearer that it is a decision tree:

1. Is it GCC? Use header <endian.h>

2. If not, does the processor have a unique endianness?

3. If not, does the OS / processor combo have a unique endianness?

4. If not, are any macros such as _LITTLE_ENDIAN defined.

But in the meantime, why not add the patch.

And speaking of that, does anyone know: Is the combo Windows / ia64 always LE? is the combo Linux / Intel C++ / ia64 always LE? --Johan
