Base conversion within Base

[IT1 Stuart Blake Tener, USNR]

Team,

First let me start out by saying I appreciate in no uncertain terms  
the absolutely amazing effort that all of the folks involved with Bash  
have proffered from its infancy until now. In 2 words: Thank You!

It is rather simplistic to perform a conversion of a number from any  
base to base 10 in bash using such construction as: echo $((36#AB1CDE1))

However, the greatness of the foregoing notwithstanding, it would be  
most utilitarian indeed to have the ability to do base conversion from  
base 10 to any other base as easily as is capable with the  
aforementioned construction.


Stuart
