cljk opened a new pull request #24: Base64 should be open for different alphabets URL: https://github.com/apache/commons-codec/pull/24 Currently I´m trying to write a Linux shadow-file - the passwords are stored as Base64-ecoded (hashes). But the alphabet of this Base64 is different: see [www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-security-4/how-can-i-convert-a-sha-512-etc-shadow-hash-to-base64-4175477045/](https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-security-4/how-can-i-convert-a-sha-512-etc-shadow-hash-to-base64-4175477045/) ` A base 64 encoding is used to store password hashes computed with crypt in the /etc/passwd. Its alphabet starts with '.' for zero, then '/' for one, followed by 0-9, A-Z and a-z. Padding is not used.` So I opened up your Base64 class constructor to accept an alphabet.
