+ * base64 algorithm, and returns a pointer to the result.  If the "srclen"
+ * parameter is not zero, it specifies the length of the source data.  If it
+ * is zero, the source data is assumed to be null-terminated, and PL_strlen
+ * is used to determine the source length.  If the "dest" parameter is not
+ * null, it is assumed to point to a buffer of sufficient size (which may be
+ * calculated: ((srclen + 2)/3)*4) into which the encoded data is placed 
+ * (without any termination).  If the "dest" parameter is null, a buffer is
+ * allocated from the heap to hold the encoded data, and the result *will*
+ * be terminated with an extra null character.  It is the caller's 
+ * responsibility to free the result when it is allocated.  A null is returned 
+ * if the allocation fails.
+ *
+ * NOTE: when calculating ((srclen + 2)/3)*4), first ensure that
+ *     srclen <= (PR_UINT32_MAX/4) * 3
+ * to avoid PRUint32 overflow.

+ * PL_Base64Decode
+ *
+ * This routine decodes the data pointed to by the "src" parameter using
+ * the base64 algorithm, and returns a pointer to the result.  The source
+ * may either include or exclude any trailing '=' characters.  If the
+ * "srclen" parameter is not zero, it specifies the length of the source
+ * data.  If it is zero, PL_strlen will be used to determine the source
+ * length.  If the "dest" parameter is not null, it is assumed to point to

+ * when srclen includes the '=' characters) into which the decoded data
+ * is placed (without any termination).  If the "dest" parameter is null,
+ * a buffer is allocated from the heap to hold the decoded data, and the
+ * result *will* be terminated with an extra null character.  It is the
+ * caller's responsibility to free the result when it is allocated.  A null
+ * is retuned if the allocation fails, or if the source is not well-coded.
+ *
+ * NOTE: when calculating (srclen * 3)/4, first ensure that 
+ *     srclen <= PR_UINT32_MAX/3
+ * to avoid PRUint32 overflow.  Alternatively, calculate
+ *     (srclen/4) * 3 + ((srclen%4) * 3)/4
+ * which is equivalent but doesn't overflow for any value of srclen.
