------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  This is a program to create C code that declares the endianness of the
  machine on which it is run.

  It generates something like this:

    #ifndef LITTLE_ENDIAN
    #define LITTLE_ENDIAN 1234
    #endif

    #ifndef BIG_ENDIAN
    #define BIG_ENDIAN 4321
    #endif
       
    #ifndef BYTE_ORDER
    #define BYTE_ORDER LITTLE_ENDIAN
    #endif

    #define BITS_PER_WORD 32
    #endif

    
  Really good code usually is not sensitive to endianness.  But fast,
  not-so-good code often is.  The best way for code to determine
  endianness is for it to do a runtime cast of an integer to an array
  of characters and see where the bytes land.  But if speed requires
  even sleazier code than that, use these macros.
