Perhaps not, but you also have companies that still need to support new
features in a product that is still supported on both PPC and i386.
At anyrate, I just wanted to also mention you could wrap the whole block
in a mac platform check if you like:
#ifdef MAC_ENV
ifdef __ppc__
#define PODOFO_IS_BIG_ENDIAN
#else
#define PODOFO_IS_LITTLE_ENDIAN
#endif
#endif
