[SDL] SDL_BYTEORDER

[Brian]

System refers to the PC architecture, for example intel x86 and clones
versus Motorola  processors. Intels are little-endian and Motorolas
are (AFAIK) big endian. Big endian is also called "network endian"
since it is the supposed standard endianess used when transmitting
binary data (as opposed to text, which is endian neutral ) over
networks.
