[svn-r4695] Purpose:
Bug Fix Description: The file metadata macros generate unaligned access warnings on the IA64 architecture. Solution: Got rid of bogus big-endian vs. little-endian differentiation when encoding and decoding file metadata and use proper set of macros to prevent unaligned access problems. This fixes bug #672. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.4 (sleipnir)
