unknown error parsing input font on PowerPC Macs

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install ttf2eot on a PowerPC Mac (for example by installing Xcode and 
MacPorts, editing the ttf2eot 
portfile to remove the PowerPC check by typing "sudo port edit ttf2eot" and 
removing the "pre-fetch" 
block, and then typing "sudo port install ttf2eot")
2. Try to convert a font using ttf2eot

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected: font is converted
Actual: error message: unknown error parsing input font, m

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.0.2-2, on Mac OS X 10.5.8 or 10.4.11 on a Power Mac G4.

Please provide any additional information below.

Same version works fine on same OS versions on MacBook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo, so 
ttf2eot seems to be 
missing some endian conversions. I see many occurrences of the string "Endian" 
in OpenTypeUtilities.cpp 
but none in ttf2eot.cpp.

I believe this is the same as issue #12.

This patch does let ttf2eot generate an eot from a ttf on a PowerPC Mac. I have 
not tried to use the resulting eot, but I doubt it's valid, because the eot it 
generates on a PowerPC Mac is different from the eot it generates on an Intel 
Mac from the same ttf. So I think this patch is only half the solution.
