   2045.  Non-Base64 characters were not being discarded during the
   decode.  RFC 2045 explicitly states that all characters outside of the
-  base64 alphabet are to be ignored.  A new function discardNonBase64 is
-  called prior to a decode.  Note that isArrayBase64 only discards
-  white space before testing the contents of an encoded byte array.  Unit
-  tests for Base64 were updated to reflect the changes related to
-  discarding non-Base64 characters.
