Can't we add a byte-order indicator at the start of the index file? Then, when 
the byte order doesn't match we can use a slower compatibility function that 
fixes the byte order. In 99.9% of the cases this will not be needed but when 
it is needed it wil be used automagically and hassle free.

I can make a patch for it if you like the idea.

Cheers,
Waldo
