Hi Jon,

This doesn't work, test/unbase64.c fails to compile and make check
fails:
 
      * the auth test scripts should be updated to use USERID_HEX
        instead of USERID_BASE64
      * _dbus_string_base64_decode() would skip leading whitespace, but
        _dbus_string_hex_decode() doesn't do this.

I've attached a patch (apply on top of your patch) that fixes this and
also removes the base64 mention from the spec.

Kristian
