Nice. It would be good with a couple of short manual examples as well. A
pity that RFC 4648 doesn't include any testvectors for base64url. (Or am
I missing something? Simon?)

I'd suggest using lfib_knuth generator in nettle. And maybe you already
to that, but it's good to randomize also the length of the data.

This needs investigation. Have you run the tests under valgrind? ("make
check EMULATOR='$(VALGRIND)'")?

No, not at this time (it's used in one place, in the unfinished openpgp
code).
