[cp-patches] FYI: Implementing Little Endian and Big Endian encodings.

[Meskauskas Audrius]

Following the OMG specification, CORBA must support
both Big and Little Endian encodings (I did not find any notes about
this in Java API - proably silence is the sign of agreement). The
CORBA messages contain the flags, indicating, which encoding
is currently used.

Great thanks to Warren Levy, Aaron M. Renn and Tom Tromey,
authors of our DataInput/Output streams. Reusing the
code from there saved me a lot of work.

I have got to pack the patch as it is larger than the limit of the list.
