What happens now? base64-(d)?encode-* are built-in functions and
'base64' is provided as a feature (base64.c line 420). So if you have
the base64.el from Gnus and or mail-lib, which wins?
If someone does (require 'base64) the internal one is used, but if
someone uses (load "base64") the loaded one will be used. I think
this is what you would expect. (But the Gnus XEmacs package doesn't
contain base64.el, does it?)
