endian-ness of new macs - are all pc platforms the same now?

Does the change of macs over to Intel chips mean we are done with the bit twiddling on numbers in binary resources for cross platform data distributions?

Is that the last of this problem or are there some other platforms I'm not aware of?

Pesky x86's dirtying up my memory registers with their segment pointers! ;)

I believe you don't need to flip words between PCs and Macs anymore, assuming you're eschewing backwards-compatibility with PowerPC.
