[GRASS5] importing .e00 files

[William Kyngesburye]

I saw that right away, just didn't think to mention it.  And I got  
distracted from building the avce00 stuff.

But, when I got to the e00compr program, I noticed that the byte  
order isn't specified in the makefile.  Since e00compr and avce00  
both use the CPL stuff, I suggest you add -DCPL_MSB to the e00compr  
CFLAGS also.

Theory of the Universe

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly  
what the universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly  
disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarrely  
inexplicable.  There is another theory which states that this has  
already happened.
