[Queue-developers] Fwd: Re: load averages...

Looks great Eric.

This changes involve replacing fwrite and fread with netfwrite and netfread, 
which write bytes on little endian machines in network byte order.

Eric's changes go some way towards allowing communication between Linux clients 
and Solaris servers (I think he indicated he was about 80% of the way there, 
jobs start on the other architecture, although there may be some problem getting 
data back by way of the terminal.)

Queue users can download the changes by unpacking the 1.20.1 distribution and 
typing "cvs update" from inside the directory. This assumes that cvs is 
installed on your system; it is installed by default under most distributions. 
You can also get it off ftp.gnu.org.

If you fix the remaing problems, be sure to either submit a patch or apply for 
write access to the CVS repository so that you can bounce code between yourself 
and other developers.

  queue.h        (included queue_endian.h)
  queue_endian.h (new file)
  sha1.c         (included queue_endian.h)
  queue.c        (netfread/netfwrite)
  queued.c       (netfread/netfwrite)
  wakeup.c       (netfread/netfwrite)
  handle.c       (netfread/netfwrite)
  qlib.c         (added netfread/netfwrite functions)
