Use of libb64 for vorbis picture support #43

Closed djmattyg007 closed 7 years ago

djmattyg007 commented 9 years ago

Hi there. I recently resurrected and updated the Arch User Repository package for mp3fs: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mp3fs-git/

Unfortunately I've had to disable vorbis picture support because of the lack of a package for libb64 in Arch. Is it possible to use the base64 encoding/decoding functions that are part of glibc instead?

The glibc base64 decoding support is very low-level. libb64 on the other hand is by far more sophisticated and speedy. Maybe it is possible to get libb64 into AUR.

I've decided to just embed base64 routines directly in the code to avoid this dependency.
