My proposal mimics the API of endian.h. It defines a BYTE_ORDER macro that is either equal to LITTLE_ENDIAN, BIG_ENDIAN or PDB_ENDIAN (aka mixed endian). I need it that way for Keccak but I can roll my own definitions if you prefer just two macros.

If you prefer two macros instead of three then we should name them PY_IS_LITTLE_ENDIAN and PY_IS_BIG_ENDIAN.

Ned:
If I understand you correctly than we can't have a configure definition and need macro magic like brg_endian.h.
