[bug-gnulib] Re: base64

I began to use the base64 module in SASL, but felt the current API
wasn't that good.  It was difficult to separate memory/overflow errors
from invalid input during decoding.  Some design decisions were
probably wrong as well (i.e., decoding should fail on invalid input,
not return the decodable prefix).  I'll incorporate the module in
Shishi too, and see if that give more insight.  Eventually I'll come
up with a better API and post the new version.  (Most of the code will
remain, in some form, so the review has not been in vain.)
