Sorry for latency, just came from two week leave.

glibc does provide bswap for 16, 32, 64 bit numbers but nothing better.
 
I have no idea if libssl has such function. Since the test code already
uses this function, and it works, and it's not a newly added function in
this patch, I would consider keeping it.
