Note that SANE is reported to work fine on SPARC Solaris, which is
big-endian.
The only endian-issues that I'm aware of is that if you try to scan
with >8 bits/channel across the net-backend and the endianness between
the hosts differ, you'll lose. This is something that's easy to fix,
but I haven't had the chance to implement it yet.
