There are 22 little-endian hash files in abispell but only 3 big-endian.

(1) How easy is it to convert between the two formats?
(2) Why can't it be done at run-time?

In addition, on darwin the wrong (i.e., LE) hash file is installed. Is
this true of builds on all big-endian architectures?

Deep in the human unconsciousness is a pervasive need for a logical
universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step
beyond logic.
