Will the architecture of nano gui allow for the case where the host system and
the memory of the graphic device are of different endianess (sp) ? 

I'm fighting this case now with XF86_FBDev.  My Little Endian x86 machine is
using a graphic device that can only view its memory as Big Endian.  My Frame
Buffer driver handles this easily, but trying to get X11 to recognize this
weird arrangement is a _real_ pain.
