//  it does that by putting a 1 and a 0 in an array, and read it out as one
//  number. If it is 1, it is LITTLE_ENDIAN, if it is 256, it is BIG_ENDIAN
//
// After that it outputs the contents of an include files (endian.h)
//  that says or TTD_LITTLE_ENDIAN, or TTD_BIG_ENDIAN. Makefile takes
//  care of the real writing to the file.
