GDBM files on Intel Macs

Priority: high Milestone: Next Release (2 or 3)

Description

There is a problem with GDBM files on Intel Macs. These are little endian, but perl (5) can't detect this. So the perl code always creates the file with a bdb extension on a mac. GS3 runtime has been changed to always look for bdb on a Mac. GS2 runtime? Does this need changing? Demo collections - we need to add a .txt file for the database into svn. Then on installation, this needs to be converted into a database file - just for Intel Mac? or do this for all types? Note, Shaoqun and Xiaofeng discovered this, not me.
