[Xapian-discuss] omindex generates incorrect md5 checksums on bigendian platforms

[Olly Betts]

On big-endian architectures (e.g. sparc, hppa, armeb), omindex in 0.9.9
and earlier generates incorrect MD5 checksums.  Apply this trivial patch
to fix the problem:

If you aren't needing to interoperate with other MD5 implementations
and aren't worried about compatibility on upgrade, there's no need to
worry right away - the checksums generated are consistent for a given
input and shouldn't collide often.

I've added this (and the MacOS X .jnilib requirement) to the release
