What should we recommend people use in place of sun.misc.BASE64Encoder

gnu.java.net.BASE64 is handy and does the job, but switching code to use
that won't fly in cases where the upstream maintainer wishes to continue
building/running with proprietary implementations.
They could simply bundle gnu.java.net.BASE64. ;)
If they are under an Apache Software Licese v.2, then the Apache
Software Foundation's jakarta commons-codec might be a more accessible
alternative (for ASF's own projects).
It would be nice if we could all promote the use of a liberally
licensed** base64 solution and mention this on the ClasspathMigration
wiki page.
http://iharder.sourceforge.net/base64/ is in public domain. I have not
tried it, though.
