cWnn 4.2 little endian bug fixed! (fwd)

[Dennis McMurchy <denismcm@example.com>]

  Hi,

  Some of you who use Chinese as well as Japanese will be as 
delighted as I was that cWnn 4.2 is now fixed.

Subject: cWnn 4.2 little endian bug fixed!

After a hellish day I can finally report why cWnn was not working on
my Linux box (and presumably all other i386 and mips machines.)  It
turns out that there is still an endian related bug in the Chinese
server.  I'll spare you all the gory details of my awful experience,
(which included building debugging versions of both cserver and
mule-23-1933 and running them simultaneously from different emacs
processes) and just post the patch.  (I hope there isn't a more
suitable mailing list for this.  If there is, I hope it finds its way
there.)  I'm making an RPM of this for redhat systems and will upload
it to ftp.redhat.com.

The call to create_b_index was being made before the endian-ness was
repaired by revdic, so it saw crazy serial numbers.  Here's another
handy patch to Mark Leisher's wnn-server-4.2 package.  It builds a
libwnn.a to link mule with:

Now I just need to figure out how to set wnn-server-type to cserver
and not have it changed back to jserver by mule-init.el.
