Ah, I did search for swaP...

And, I though that they are more conditional on the CPU endianness but that
would be sort of htons() and ntohl() and friends.

Then I see no problem adding such macros and getting rid of the #include
completely. Which is compiler independent and OS independent.

Will prepare and submit a V2 asap.

Thanks and BR,
