No data writeout until SaveFile() is called.

Working on this.

The demo is just a program I hacked together. It expects you to do the
checking and I don't plan to change that. It's not worth the effort.

See above.

If Close() isn't called, nothing is written as SaveFile() isn't called.

This can't be done due to C++ limitations. If XEndianFile calls Open() in
its constructor, XEndianFile's method will be called, but not XBlockFile's,
as the XBlockFile constructor isn't called (and XBlockFile isn't
instantiated) until XEndianFile's constructor has run. You'll have to live
with two separate calls.
> o No man file
I have a doc file in there. I don't have a tool to create manpages.
> o No configure file to set up XEndianFile
I don't know how to create configure files. I didn't do anything
*nix-Specific. You'll have to set up the sources yourself to have them
compile on another platform. I can only do this on platforms I'm working
with, which currently is Mac only.
