Brilliant !
Next days I'll check out all other ports that depend on Hermes, to see
wether they
allow to be compiled without Hermes. It would be perfect to add the similar
patches
to them.
And moreover I'll suggest to add a prebuild notice to Hermes port which says
something like:
"The Hermes library doesn't properly work in an environment where X server
and clients run
 on computers with different endianess. You might encounter a strange color
effects.
Would you like to continue ?YES/NO: [NO]"

Best regards
