I've written a small C program for auto config that checks the endianness of IEEE doubles. Neil has promised to add something to configure.in when I come up with a small C program. It should do the right thing on a BE platform but I can't test it. Tim, does Python run on a non IEEE 754 platform? Should the new repr() be ripped out? I hate to break Python for scientists just to silence some ignorants and unexperienced newbies.

right thing on a BE platform but I can't test it.
