functions), which simulates a little endian system.

That sounds nice, but you should take it up with Microsoft. They already
do deploy .NET on big-endian systems (Xbox 360). Moving applications
between platforms is fairly transparent unless you're depending on
something platform specific, such as byte order. In that case you just
have to be careful but your requirements are going to be fairly
application specific. You could always use something like
System.Net.IPAddress.NetworkToHostOrder
