Subject: byteswap.h

I had a look at byteswap.h and it seems to me that the code is not very 
efficient. Every function in this header could be translated in a single 
assembly instruction with the gcc intrinsics:

__builtin_bswap16
__builtin_bswap32
__builtin_bswap64

Is there a reason to not use these gcc intrinsics?

Bye
