Kasper and I did code all of the routines.

Well, I've to admit that I was aware that bitshifting may pose a 
problem, but I never thought that we will run across a user that runs 
TYPO3 on somethig like an RS/6000.

Easiest local fix is a XCLASS extension for your endianess. Or an 
alogrithm that doesn't do bit-arithmetics. Though I think this is the 
fastest possible way.
