Yes. I am planning on doing this tonight. But could this done separately
from this patch, or do you think it doesn't make sense?

My other question is: Do we need to take care of the big endian
convention only, or do we need to look at the LE case as well (I don't
have a clue as to what is happening in that case :-(, if this ever makes
any sense).

Thanks,
