I think it expects to find them in a file "endian.h".

Or rather it did not long ago.  It doesn't any more.  It outright fails
with:

There is "/usr/include/sys/endian.h", but libcaca seems unable to find it
on netbsd-8.

On -current libcaca seems to be able to find it, but it doesn't define the
macros libcaca wants.


There is also "/usr/pkg/include/boost/predef/other/endian.h", but it doesn't
define the macros, only tests them.
