I've removed the flags that upstream was adding.

I've updated the description of the main package to mention that it includes
the tool, and that users should install the -devel package if they wish to
develop using the library:

"This package provides the %{name}-b64 binary tool for encoding to and decoding
from the Base64 scheme. Please install the %{name}-devel package to develop
software using %{name}."

Do you think that's clear enough? If not, I'll put the binary into a separate
-tools subpackage.

Updated spec/srpm:

Cheers,
Ankur
