/** This class encodes binary data to base64 Strings and
    decodes Strings coded in base64 into the corresponding binary
    data.
    The base64 data representation is based on a 64-character alphabet:

    The input file is encoded 6 bits at a time into a single character
    in the 64-character alphabet. Where padding is required at the end
    of the stream, the padding character is '='.
    Finally, the output stream should also be broken into lines to improve
    human readability.  This class breaks it at 76 characters and insert a
    CR/LF into the stream.  This increases the length by less than 3%.
    Since the decoding ingores characters that are outside the 64 character
    alphabet, the CR, LF and padding character are dropped.
