Bleh bad idea to paste code into messages here.
Anyway I stuck a new file in there called socketbuf.zip, it has 
socketbuf and binary_stream, which is exactly what it sounds like, 
but is also a way from being finished (for a start it only #define's 
LITTLE_ENDIAN for Visual C++).  It only works on platforms with 4 
byte IEEE floats and 8 byte IEEE doubles, and currently assumes 
unsigned is 4 bytes, although all it needs is some unsigned type that 
is 4 bytes (uint32_t).
