There appears to be an implementation of that function in cygwin's
src/newlib/libc/sys/linux/net/base64.c. Is it possible to link
against whatever that gets compiled to? If not, could that function
be copied to cygwin's libresolv? When the header and implementation
are already there it seems a shame not to make it available.
That is an older version of the file currently shipped by FreeBSD, but
like other libc/sys/linux files, it is only compiled into newlib when
targeting Linux. The file compiles cleanly on Cygwin, but whether or
not we want to provide these non-standard functions would be up to cgf
or Corinna.
