Hi Mike

That's really cool! Thanks a lot for helping with this - I had been
looking for testing help in this regard for a really long time. I'm
really impressed that KStars now runs on big-endian platforms. Thanks
for your help again.

I'm copying this to kstars-devel just to let everyone know. I hope you
don't mind!
