base64 encoding / decoding should probably be included in Codec.Utils (I've seen copies of the same code all over the place) and if anyone has the time, they are very welcome to add it.
I'd also welcome feedback on whether this is the right place in the hierarchy for such a package and modules.
We generally try to avoid names like 'Utils', if at all possible. Sometimes you really do need a bag of miscellaneous bits though (eg. Foreign.Marshal.Utils). For base64, the hierarchy design has this in Codec.Binary.Base64: http://www.haskell.org/~simonmar/lib-hierarchy.html Cheers, Simon
