 Not entirely. Although a fix was put into boost 1.53 so that '='
 characters will not cause the decoder to crash, it still doesn't treat
 them as padding. The fix will cause the decoder to add nulls to the end of
 the decoded value, which is probably not what you want. Granted, you
 should be able to figure out the right thing to to given the number of '='
 characters on the end of the encoded stream, but you shouldn't have to.

 Also, the encoder still won't produce a padded encoding.
