    Well, of course, that means I'm off-topic, but I think
we're on the same page now.

    Well, it looks like it. I can't figure out why you would
need those BSWAP's on any platform, but I didn't read the 
code carefully. I had the impression they were doing their 
work on Intel, but of course, you never know what you'll 
get after `cvs update -dP'.

    There seems to be a lot of activity in the new opendivx/core
section (and rightly so) that's taking it in a nice direction, 
but I think it's moving too fast to use it right now.
