It's goal is to speed up storing and reading of 32-bit integers to and
from ByteStrings. I'm not sure if the plugin still exists, it might be
present in Etoys or Croquet. These methods should be refactored
(ByteString vs WideString) and moved to the Nebraska package. The
rewritten methods' performance should be close to the plugin's on Cog.
