* The MySQL code contains an assumption in the WKB handling that all WBK
will be little endian. If you run MySQL spatial on a big endian machine
(Sparc, PowerPC, PA-RISC) you will find things go amiss when you try to
send WKB to little endian machines (x86), because your big endian
machine will be creating invalid data (big endian data incorrectly
flagged as little endian).
