base64 and quopri implement specific RFCs so I think they should  
stay.  uu implements a defacto standard, but I don't like its  
interface (it uses file-like objects instead of strings).  For Py3K,  
I would be in favor of consolidating things, making interfaces  
consistent, and probably re-homing the modules under a top-level  
package.
