commit 92f40b186aa2adda8039fff09c1246bdd30dbd3d
Author: Deri James <address@hidden>

    Problem running gropdf on big endian (Sparc)
    
    * src/devices/gropdf/gropdf.pl: Prior to perl v5.9 the 'L<'
    template for 'unpack' was unavailable. Solaris 10 uses v5.8.4
    so safer to use the template 'V' rather than 'L<'.

        In 'configure.ac', the macro call
