Bug#479152: ITP: core -- Jane Street Capital's alternative standard library for OCaml

Given what Markus said:

I'm going to compile bin-prot for the other architectures anyway, just
as it is.  I think I will punt on the problem of changing bin-prot to
do byte-swabbing to someone who is interested in this
inter-architecture case.

(But I'll document the shortcoming, of course).
