libtdb.h and libtdb.c

Byteorder.h is GPL (not LGPL) and so far all of the headers I am using
are carefully LGPL, because libtdb.h gets including in our base code
build.

I would prefer to use byteorder.h if it is converted to LGPL as I agree
it's more-better.

Suggestions?

Sorry it's taken me a while to get to this. The thing I
don't like about it is the get/put 1 byte functions. These
are overkill (IMHO) and are reinventing the wheel w.r.t.
IVAL,IVALS,SVAL etc. Look in include/byteorder.h for
details.

Any chance you can re-work it to use the same methods
as the rest of Samba ?
