[boost] 1.34 boost::filesystem::size() issues on OSX PPC (works on OSX Intel though)

Hello, all ...

When I use v1.34s boost::filesystem::size() implementation on Mac OSX  
(10.4.10, Intel and PPC), I get different results.  It appears to be  
a byte-ordering issue (since on little-endian machines (I tested on  
Windows and OSX Intel) it returns the correct result, while on big- 
endian machines (I tested on OSX PPC) it does not).  While this is  
easy enough to code around, I don't recall reading anything about  
byte-ordering issues in the boost::filesystem portability guide, so  
i'm wondering if this is intentional?

Regards,

John
