CRC: endian madness

Several people have had problems with the augmented CRC tests, while I
haven't.  I realized that the CRC algorithms assume that they get numbers
most-significant bit first.  For most raw data, you don't care about endian
issues, but the augmented CRC tests read their own CRC after the raw data,
causing a problem if the data is not in big-endian order.  I suspect that
the users reporting problems are using little-endian computers, while I have
a big-endian computer.  What can I do to solve this problem?
