Well, the memcpy does have the added advantage of being more immune to 
memory alignment issues.  These structures are all multiple of 4 bytes, 
so it probably doesn't matter, but the memcpy will place the data in the 
correct place for all supported architectures, without any danger of 
misalignment exceptions.  I'd now keep it as a memcpy.
