Hi Jeff, Pete and all,

I've been called out of town and will not have time to look at the Hail stuff 
for a while.

Re: the endian issues, a quick look suggests that most of the code is OK and 
that the structs that are passed over the network need to be put into a 
standard endian format.  There seem to be only two structs that need attention. 
 It is less clear if there is a single place to make the byte order fix.

Note: The Hail builds are not working for me.  I've tried running a couple of 
difference distributions and they all fail in configure.  Running usual 
upgrades does not correct the problem.  Digging into the scripts a bit shows 
they generally fail due to library issues or what appear to be related to 
compiler issues (test... ac_nonexistent.h).  If there is interest,  I can 
forward the log files.
