Fixed EtherCAT addressing problem on big-endian systems. The slaves
address is now a four-byte-array, that is filled with little-endian
(EtherCAT) values on datagram creation.

Building and installing
=======================

The building and installation procedure is described in section 2.1 in the
EtherCAT master documentation available from http://etherlab.org/ethercat.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the impatient:

The procedure mainly consists of calling

$ ./configure
$ make modules

(and as root)

# make install
# make modules_install

...and copying the init script and sysconfig file from $prefix/etc to the
appropriate locations and customizing the sysconfig file.
