    * new internal set format for big endian systems. Advantages: · a0b57edd
    Jonas Maebe authored
        * varsets ({$packset x}) are now supported on big endian targets
        * gdb now displays sets properly on big endian systems
        * cleanup of generic set code (in, include/exclude, helpers), all
          based on "bitpacked array[] of 0..1" now
      * there are no helpers available yet to convert sets from the old to
        the new format, because the set format will change again slightly
        in the near future (so that e.g. a set of 24..31 will be stored in
        1 byte), and creating two classes of set conversion helpers would
        confuse things (i.e., it's not recommended to use trunk currently for
        programs  which load sets stored to disk by big endian programs compiled
        by previous FPC versions)
      * cross-endian compiling has been tested and still works, but one case
        is not supported: compiling a compiler for a different endianess
        using a starting compiler from before the current revision (so first
        cycle natively, and then use the newly created compiler to create a
        cross-compiler)
