[netperf-talk] nonsense results from windows with 2.4.x / trunk

[Andrew Gallatin]

I was trying to track down why netperf2.4 gives nonsense
results on windows when built with cygwin.  I think I have
tracked it down to a glibc'ism in htond()/ntohd().  

The problem seems to be that __BYTE_ORDER is declared on cygwin, but
__FLOAT_WORD_ORDER is not.  This leads to falling into the /* Fixup
mixed endian floating point machines */ code, which causes the
problem.  Plenty of other platforms (FreeBSD, Solaris, MacOSX) seem to
define neither, so they avoided this problem.

The attached patch seems to make netperf/netserver behave
on Windows.
