libext2fs: fix obvious big-endian bugs introduced by 64-bit changes
These patches fix obvious bone-headed mistakes, so e2fsprogs will now build and mostly work on powerpc. The m_meta_bg, u_mke2fs, and u_tune2fs tests are still failing, however, so there's still work to do...
but not fixed yet. Just a heads up, when contemplating a 1.42 release. I will try to find some time to look into it, but it's not a simple regression, something must have gone wrong in the bowls of 64-bitness.

Um, thanks for reminding me! I'll try to schedule time to look at them later in this week, but if you get a chance ahead of me, let me know if you make any progress.
One of the other things on my todo list is I noticed that apparently I accidently broke the shared library ABI for the e2tools package, and I need to figure out what I need to fix up so that e2tools doesn't have to be recompiled.
