[patch] don't hard code endianness

Attached is a patch to detect endianness and use iconv with the right "from"
encoding.

Otherwise, you get something like the following if you're using the encoding
with the wrong endianness:

% utf8lookup d6
No LINES variable in environment so unable to determine lines per page.
Using default of 24.
iconv: (stdin):1:0: cannot convert

That's because there's no valid unicode codepoint for 0xd6000000 (the wrong
endian represenation of the U+00D6 codepoint).


Also while here, change /usr/local replacement from LOCALBASE -> PREFIX
(although the replacement is not used in the current version of the port).


The utf8lookup patch was sent upstream recently - no response yet.
