thanks, I checked it in.

Sun says one should not use their sun.* or com.sun.*
classes directly. In my opinion good style would be to
use reflection to figure out if there is a
sun.util.Base64 class and eventually to invoke its
methods using reflection as well, to avoid a compile
time dependency.

I think one should use some other implementation of
Base64 in code that's supposed to be portable accross
different Java versions/implementations. Or push Sun
to make it a documented java.util. class ;)
