 Dave, you're saying a lot of plugins currently have to use #ifdefs to
 convert masks depending on byte order. That sounds weird, it'd mean
 that the libs we depend on don't actually make proper use of RGB data
 depending on endianness, which seems more like an issue with them than
 with us, unless this is for a specific purpose. I don't see this
 happening a lot, actually.

+24-bit and 32-bit RGB formats are typically byte-oriented, not
+word-oriented.  There is no inherint endianness in the data as there
+is with 16-bit or 15-bit, there is merely arrangement.
+
+The reason there aren't many #ifdefs currently is because nothing
+really works on big-endian machines.
