Because we aim at simplicity. We do understand that there is a need for
avoiding endianness issues; hence the modified lundump.c that I posted.
But that is not part of the core (perhaps we could add it to etc/).
See the threads below:

Now, endianness is not the only issue. See

I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
