What are you looking for over and above what:
    http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Byte-Order.html
(htons() and friends) gives you ?  htons() probably goes all the way back to 
day 1.

The compiler also has builtin near equivalents like:
     __builtin_bswap32()
which presumably are faster, but I don't know when they were added.
