Escape / encode functions

Hi all,

APR currently contains the ability to base64 encode/decode, but many other encodings such as urlencoding are currently embedded in httpd, limiting their use in generic applications.

Would it make sense in the long term to create formal APIs for urlencoding/escaping? If no objections I plan to make this so.

Regards,
Graham

Makes sense to me.  Subversion includes our own implementations of URL
escaping as part of our svn_uri_canonicalize().
