Comment:

 I've added a proposed patch, on the basis that base64 produces 4 bytes of
 output for 3 bytes of input, it adds a 33% overhead. The maximum stanza
 size is 64k in ejabberd by default, so I've set the input block size to
 45k, which will yield a maximum of 60k after base64 encoding, and allow 4k
 for the XML encapsulation.
