These functions will be mostly called via the functions table
src/librt/primitives/table.c. You have to add them there.
What do you mean with rt^3? The repository branch? It's for
testing/prototyping only. You should stick to
svn.code.sf.net/p/brlcad/code/brlcad/trunk.

These functions change the byte representation of numbers (~l for long
integers, ~d for doubles) from network format (big endian ieee) to the
machine (processor) specific host format. The network format serves
as a well defined hardware independent binary format for numbers.
