A small point of interest.  When working the Xbox 360, the above 
endianness didn't work using a local variable.  Instead, I had to create 
a static global.  :(  This was under Lua 5.0, but I'm guessing it will 
still apply now.

static int x = 1;

int luaU_endianness (void)
{
/* int x=1; */
return *(char*)&x;
}

Take it for what it's worth.
