Ever heard of mime encoding?

You can also cut and paste the patch inline.  Whitespace mangling's better 
than that mess...

I uudecoded it by hand, noticed you removed the swab entirely, scratched my 
head for a bit, went and pondered the code, and realized that both callers of 
identify() were already adjusting the endianness of the data before calling 
identify().  (Which is weird, how did this _ever_ work on a big endian 
system?  It's broken back in 1.1.1, I think...)

The correct thing to do isn't to remove the adjustment from identify, but to 
remove it from each of the callers so it's done in one place.
