We can extend this solution like this:

int main() {
     std::string my_text = "My text for encoding!";

     std::string encoded_text;
     boost::base64().encode( my_text, std::back_inserter( encoded_text ) );
     // Or like this:
     // boost::base64().encode( my_text, encoded_text );
     // or:
     // boost::base64().encode( my_text.begin()
     //                         , my_text.end()
     //                         , encoded_text );

     std::string my_text_again;
     boost::base64().decode( encoded_text, std::back_inserter(  
my_text_again ) );
     // Or like this:
     // boost::base64().decode( encoded_text.begin()
     //                         , encoded_text.end()
     //                         , std::back_inserter( my_text_again ) );
}

So developer can choose the interface he likes. All technical details, of  
course, will be discussed...
