I should also reply to this. The problem with these macros is that
they are not part of any C standard; not 1999 ISO C nor any of the
POSIX standards.

In fact, these two macros are not even available on Linux/gcc 
*unless* you include <endian.h>.

On MacOSX these macros are defined inside the compiler itself.
