It should be using the WORDS_BIGENDIAN #define from config.h. But that also #defines HAVE_ZLIB_H, which currently causes the plugin to fail to compile. It's a mess. :(

I'm not sure what happened to the bug title there ...

The plugin is using GLib's byte-order macros now; I presume those work on *BSD.

Updated by AFAIK switching to Glib for the endianness swapping should be good but I'll see for sure when the next alpha goes out.
