[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 0/0] util: Rework endian handling in python code

This is a refresh of:

   http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-dev/2013-June/040594.html

At the moment the python code uses sys.byteorder to decide whether
u_format_table.c should be for big or little endian.  With this series
it instead generates both forms, using blocks like:

#ifdef PIPE_ARCH_BIG_ENDIAN
...
#else
...
#endif

in cases where endianness matters.

Doing it this way is more cross-compiler-friendly.  It also means people
working on LE systems can see what the differences would be for BE.

Tested on x86_64 and z.  I don't have commit access so please apply if OK.

Thanks,
Richard
