[CMake] Finding out the Endianness of a system at CMake config time

[Mike Jackson]

I have recently joined a project where I am to do some coding. The  
code base is cross platform HPC type code and the original coders  
have defined their own little/big endian #defines (L_ENDIAN &  
B_ENDIAN). They pass this into the compiler via -DL_ENDIAN during  
compiles.

Is there a way to automatically have cmake figure this out for me?  
Right now I have an OPTION(....) clause in my CMakeLists.txt file to  
select the right value.. which is stupid and error prone but it  
worked to boot strap the process for the moment.

Any hints would be appreciated..
