Comment (by 1gray):

 Replying to [comment:3 glynn]:

 > stdint.h and int32_t are C99, and shouldn't be used in GRASS.

 I stand corrected.

 > The correct solution is to explicitly [de]serialise values rather than
 reading/writing the in-memory representation directly from/to files.

 I was about to suggest using Gnulib-provided {{{stdint.h}}} (since Gnulib
 is ''not'' a dependency, please check [http://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/
 here]), but won't the explicit [de]serialisation also solve endianness
 issues, if any?

 BTW, shouldn't the other modules also be checked for similar issues?
 These [de]serialization routines are, to my mind, good candidates to
 inclusion into the library.
