I wrote once such a beast for parrot, which is fast on the bit-level,
and converts from-to
32-bit/64-bit,
big-little endian,
4-byte single float, 8 byte double, 12 byte long double intel, 16 byte
long double rest
http://trac.parrot.org/parrot/browser/trunk/src/packfile/pf_items.c
(+ http://trac.parrot.org/parrot/ticket/387 for 4byte single float support)

But easiest is to printf to string and scanf the string if there are
any architectural differences..
