First pass at the Predef header for this at <
https://raw.github.com/grafikrobot/boost-predef/master/include/boost/predef/endian.h>.
Currently only tested on my OSX laptop. Would appreciate others trying it
out. The info is a combination of the indispensable description from
predef.sf.net (Bjorn Reese et al), known endian specifications I could find
on the architectures I currently detect, and a small amount of general web
searching.
