I also apologize for doing some amount of thinking aloud as I put
nitty-gritty into place.  VP3 is clearly defined as a big-endian codec
with MSb-first packing, and that is a sensible choice (makes fast
huffman decode easier).  Vorbis II and future Ogg still will be
MSb-first... so I think I'll just add that option to the Ogg bitpacker
now and let Theora use it.  It will simplify packet buffer management.
