Re: what library provides __b64_ntop? (libresolv does not)

are already there it seems a shame not to make it available.

That is an older version of the file currently shipped by FreeBSD, but like other libc/sys/linux files, it is only compiled into newlib when targeting Linux. The file compiles cleanly on Cygwin, but whether or not we want to provide these non-standard functions would be up to cgf or Corinna.
