Sam, et al,
I assume when you wrote SDL_LoadBMP you just assumed that only LE machines
would create .bmp files? I say this because of lines like src/SDL_bmp.c:117
and others.
Would it be appropriate to check the return value of SDL_CalculateEndian(),
and then use LE and BE appropriately?

Or even use the predefined kernel macros… st_le32, e.g.

Big endian machines that write BMP files should write them in little-endian
format. This is the BMP file format specification. See the code in
SDL_SaveBMP()
See ya!
