Why do you suppose?

I have been using Lua 5.1 with an endian detection and conversion of the 
loaded bytecode for a long time.  I am able to write out bytecode on a 
Windows or Mac during an asset build and have it load [1] and run on 
Windows, iPad, iPhone, Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii.

I understand that all bytecode is not portable everywhere, but I listed 
a good number of platforms above.  Having a simple endian conversion 
feature in Lua is useful.
