I like to see it in boost, I have had some troubles in the past switching between machine architectures... I am not very fond of the interface, i prefer something like: integer<endian::big,8> bn; integer<endian::little> ln; // default second parameter What do you think?

Back in 1999 and 2000, there was discussion of a Boost Endian library to provided portable big and little endian integer types. I've dusted off some old code from Darin Adler, gotten his permission to use the new Boost license, and have put together a library.
A zip file of the whole library is available at http://mysite.verizon.net/~beman/endian.zip
The docs can be read at http://mysite.verizon.net/~beman/endian.html
Comments welcome!
