> Per the discussion of MINIFICPP-1026, I think using and referencing boost lib for not only this component but also others is ideal.
> "Yep. I was 1. My gut suggestion was to use boost's base 64 since it's relatively isolated. If you look at the boost variant they mention portions come from this repo ( [https://github.com/ReneNyffenegger/cpp-base64])"
>  
> Since we have increased the build with static libs we might as well begin explore simply using boost directly. The size of the build is moot at that point. We should have rationale why custom libs are added to our core when alternatives exist that are more widely used.
> Build time, if we only reference portions of boost, should not increase dramatically.
>  
> I believe that this should occur despite the inertia of the expedient merge and should function as a augmentation of the tests and replacement of the custom code in StringUtils.
