Perhaps only elisp.  MIME etc needs some kind of base64 support. 
Paul, which functions does C-h f base64 TAB TAB expand to?

Well, contrib/base64.el isn't part of the "real" Gnus 
distribution, or is it?  (Due to copyright reasons.)  If it isn't, 
it probably makes sense to include the wrapper in a file that is 
part of the real distribution.  Or?

But now that I actually look in contrib/base64.el my copy do have 
b-{d,e}-string.  So it would work as a workaround.  Does your copy 
differ?
