While mailparse uses mbstring to handle Base64 and QPrint byte encodings, this functionality is deprecated in mbstring and scheduled for removal in PHP 9. Since the needed code will be removed from mbstring, we can give it a new home here in mailparse. This means that mailparse will continue to work under PHP 9. Also, it means that mailparse is no longer dependent on mbstring being compiled into the main PHP binary; it can be used with any PHP binary, even if mbstring is not present.

Hmm, Windows build is failing with this error: The failure doesn't seem to have anything to do with the content of the PR. |

My environment (Windows 11, x64, PHP-8.6.0-dev (php/php-src@b17b699)) is confirmed works fine. |

I've modified function name prefixes from
mbfl_tomb_, so that there are no name conflicts with the functions which are (temporarily) still included in mbstring (but will be removed a bit later).FYA @remicollet @youkidearitai @ndossche @cmb69
