comparison audioDB.cpp @ 118:c0789661f232 endian-neutral

Towards endian-neutrality, part 3.

The feature files have an integer expressing their dimensionality.  If
it's out of bounds, but the byte-swapped version of it isn't, then
assume that we're reading a feature file created on an other-endian
machine, and silently (or verbosely, if verbosity is on) Do The Right
Thing.
