[Qgis-developer] WKB support is only little-endian?

Looking quickly it seems that indeed QgsGeometryFactory::geomFromWkb() assumes 
host ordering, but the QgsConstWkbPtr class used by the various 
Qgs{Geometry]v2::fromWkb() methods seem to support byte swapping when WKB 
endianness != host endianness. So you might just need to fix 
QgsGeometryFactory::geomFromWkb() to make that work.
