The earliest mention I can find of base64 encode/decode functions in
the ChangeLogs is November 1998 (version 21.2-b3). IMO you can safely
dump contrib/base64.el. Just tell people that they need at least
XEmacs 21.4 to use Tramp.
No Gnus has done this[1]. And the XEmacs people themselves have said
that packages no longer need to support XEmacsen older than 21.4.
Footnotes:
[1] That's "No" as in the codename, not no as in the negative. (I
hate that codename, it's too confusing)
