I have tested this patch on my Linux/i686/little-endian machine with
v6.1 and it does not damage my already working installation.
Tatsuo I. reports successful tests on several platforms. I vaguely
recall that someone else reported success on a mixed-endian pair of
platforms. Is there any reason to not introduce it into the source tree?
If no one expresses reservations in the next couple of days, and if no
one claims the job, I will go ahead and commit this to the source tree
as a candidate change for the upcoming jumbo-patch.

btw, I used the patch which was re-posted by Tatsuo a couple of days ago
and which included as new patch for postgres.h as well as the original
patch for pqcomprim.c
