Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

After installing argyll and enabling the appropriate udev rules, argyll fails
to enumerate USB-based colorimeters and spectrometers on PowerPC
(big-endian, 32-bit).

Specifically, 'spotread -?' does not list any usb devices connected to the
system.

I can find no means of debugging why the device (an i1Display Pro Plus) fails
to be detected, but it enumerates fine on my i386 and amd64 machines with the
same udev rules.

Manually setting the permissions on the appropriate /dev/bus/usb/*/* node does
not fix things, either, so I am relatively sure this is not a simple
permissions problem.

I suspect that USB PID's and Vendor ID's are being read in an endian-specific
(and incorrect) manner.

Argyll should be able to run on big-endian machines as well as little-endian
ones. The only way I was able to profile this machine was to run Argyll on
an i386 system with X forwarding to the powerbook's display.

As a side-note, I noticed that my argyll-ref package was out of date when
I ran reportbug; I just upgraded it to 2.2.0+repack-1 and nothing changed.
