(svn r158) -Fix: make endianess check 100% accurate (hopefully ;))
#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_ENDINA
//
// 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.

  unsigned char EndianTest[2] = { 1, 0 };
