* PL_Base64Encode
*
* This routine encodes the data pointed to by the "src" parameter using the
* 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.
