New dependency on ocaml-base64 breaks things (e.g. opam-submit)

[dbuenzli]

Because some program use both extlib and cohttp and extlib has a toplevel module named Base64. See https://github.com/AltGr/opam-publish/issues/13.

Well that sucks. Do we name mangle Base64 or just bring it back under cohttp?

[dbuenzli]

I think I filed that in the wrong BT, I think ocaml-base64 should change its module name, it came after extlib, maybe B64 ?

[rgrinberg]

I think the issue was already created mirage/ocaml-base64#3

[rgrinberg]

B64 is a good name but I worry it might cause similar problems (on a lesser scale).

[dbuenzli]

What about QmFzZTY0 ?

[rgrinberg]

B64 it is.

More seriously, I was entertaining the idea of adding a Mirage_ prefix instead.

[avsm]

Urgh. B64 seems fine to me (although I was tempted by QmFzZTY0 :p

[rgrinberg]

This is fixed by #222 Hopefully a release will be pending.

Merci.
