Hi Bo.  Many thanks for picking up the slack here, I should have
improved gnulib's base64 more with coreutils long time ago.

Your patch is rather difficult to read for me, since I'm not that
familiar with the coreutils changes, and more importantly: to be applied
to gnulib, I need a patch against gnulib.

Would you mind creating a patchset that applies to the gnulib git
repository?  If it looks fine to me, I'll apply it and then coreutils
can sync against it without any local modifications.

I suspect your patch do things the way I suggested in the post to the
gnulib list some time ago, which is nice.

Thanks,
Simon
