Comment (by yun):

 I haven't seen any commits yet for this patch. I would love to have this
 function in the next release :) So if the patch needs some re-work please
 let me know.

 I do think the current patch would be much cleaner if we had access to
 these functions:

 {{{
 uint16_t htobe16(uint16_t host_16bits);
 uint16_t htole16(uint16_t host_16bits);
 uint16_t be16toh(uint16_t big_endian_16bits);
 uint16_t le16toh(uint16_t little_endian_16bits);

 uint32_t htobe32(uint32_t host_32bits);
 uint32_t htole32(uint32_t host_32bits);
 uint32_t be32toh(uint32_t big_endian_32bits);
 uint32_t le32toh(uint32_t little_endian_32bits);

 uint64_t htobe64(uint64_t host_64bits);
 uint64_t htole64(uint64_t host_64bits);
 uint64_t be64toh(uint64_t big_endian_64bits);
 uint64_t le64toh(uint64_t little_endian_64bits);
 }}}

 So proposed idea: check if these functions are available on the host OS,
 and if not use our own implementation of these functions?
