   Unify base64 handling.
-    There's base64 encoding and decoding going on in:
-      networking/wget.c:base64enc()
-      coreutils/uudecode.c:read_base64()
-      coreutils/uuencode.c:tbl_base64[]
-      networking/httpd.c:decodeBase64()
-    And probably elsewhere.  That needs to be unified into libbb functions.

   New debug options:
     -Wlarger-than-127
