In the spirit of "the best code is no code", how would you feel about
replacing our endian classes and IOUtils with Apache Commons IO?

The downside is that it adds a dependency.

How many classes do we need? Do those classes include all the methods we need, or are there gaps?

(Having dealt with yet another StackOverflow question today from someone stuck on a really old POI version, and knowing that the ones who make it to StackOverflow are actually the better ones, I'd rather inline a few classes / do nothing instead of adding a dependency that people can get wrong....)
