I'm assuming folks have looked at using:

Pretty simple API:

>     int d = modp_b64_encode(buf, endian, 3);

And very fast:

With some neat, very platform specific tricks:

Don't get me wrong, I'd definitely like to see Boost have something because that extreme of performance isn't always necessary, but FYI for those interested in the discussion. -sc
