Reading of binary files on powerpc fails

[arjan]

When reading a binary STL file, the program crashes with a std::length_error which is caused by the number of triangles being wrongly read from the binary STL file. I suspect that this is a MSB vs LSB issue.

Textual STL files work fine, by the way.

Awesome! Will try it once I get my hands on a powerpc again :)

I changed the ppc ifdef into BIG_ENDIAN, and then it worked. thanks :)
maybe do a pull request to tim to get this into the mainline.
