Re: [PATCH] sharutils-4.15.2/src/uuencode.c

1. have you verified that the input buffer has the extra 2 bytes and 
that it's okay to scribble there?

2. have you run timing tests on the fully optimized code to see if it 
actually saves some microseconds? Long, long ago, someone came up with 
this code, presumably after doing some analysis. I've never looked at 
the compiled output, so I can't answer. :)

3. you do realize that there's almost nobody left on the planet using 
this, right?
