Summary: byteorder issue in PyMac_GetOSType

Initial Comment:
The attached patch fixes an issue with byte order in 
PyMac_GetOSType (and its reverse).

These functions convert from an OSType to a string (and back) by 
interpreting an OSType as a 4-byte string. This is not correct if 
you're not on a big-endian system, such as some of the future Apple 
systems.
 
The attached patch is for python 2.4.1.
