Pushed.

And on top of that, there's src/common/base64.c with again almost the
same functionality. But refactoring to fix that would be a bit invasive
and not something to back-patch. I think what you did here is appropriate
as a minimal portability fix. Maybe later somebody will look into
removing the duplication, as a HEAD-only improvement.
