I am trying to get xmlrpc building, and I am running into problems with 
commons-codec 1.2.

Basically, the problem is in calling Base64.encode and .decode.  
Essentially, the code 1.1 release had two encode and decode methods, one 
that accepted a byte[] and the other accepted an Object.  In both cases, 
Encoder/Decoder Exceptions were thrown if the argument wasn't a byte[].  
In commons-codec 1.2, both methods still exist, but the one that accepts a 
byte[] no longer throws the exception.

So, I have one option (which kind of sucks), I can cast the byte[] to an 
Object in the calls to encode/decode to retain compatibility between codec 
1.1 and 1.2.

Thoughts?  I can have a patch ready in a few seconds if it will be 
accepted.
