(svn r6745) -Codechange: Have the dropdown menus fall fully inside the top toolbar. So
normally they will start at the left side of the parent button except when
they would stick out, then align with the top toolbar's right side. This
also means the extra parameter 'x' is not needed, it is deducted from the
widget position.

#include <stdio.h>

// This pretty simple file checks if the system is LITTLE_ENDIAN or BIG_ENDIAN
//  it does that by putting a 1 and a 0 in an array, and read it out as one
//  number. If it is 1, it is LITTLE_ENDIAN, if it is 256, it is BIG_ENDIAN
//
// After that it outputs the contents of an include files (endian.h)
//  that says or TTD_LITTLE_ENDIAN, or TTD_BIG_ENDIAN. Makefile takes
//  care of the real writing to the file.
