I rewrote code to do not use structures for unpack data comming from AP. Hope 
this fix problems with nonintel architectures. Latest tarball accesible at 
web site:  http://ap-utils.polesye.net/files/ap-utils-1.0.3-020802.tar.bz2.
Please test and report about success or fail.

I think its done - wait for your test.
