From <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=525359>:
[Message part 2 (message/rfc822, inline)]
Package: coreutils
Version: 6.10-6
Severity: wishlist
I wish there was a shared library providing the functionality of base64, cksum,
md5sum, sha*sum, and wc.
I know that there are other libraries implementing md5sum and the SHA
hashes, but I would prefer to use a GNU source for that code.
I am not aware of any other library that provides base64 encoding and decoding
for C programs.
Writing code equivalent to "wc" would not be THAT difficult, but I still think
it's best to have it in a library for faster development and so that everyone
can use a correct implementation (it's something that often gets done badly).
