Requires /bin/sh and a base64(1) that encodes its input in base64

of base64(), but a surprising number of machines that I've tried
(5 out of 11) don't have uuencode installed, while all 11 had base64(1)
which is a "core utility" rather than a "shar utility". Using base64()
has an additional advantage that the lines are always folded to the same
width, 76 characters wide, while uuencode sometimes writes shorter lines.

Version 1.0.4, July 6, 2012:
Use "base64" instead of "uuencode" when "uname" returns "Linux" to
generate the output, because "base64" seems to be more prevalently
available. On Gnu/Linux platforms, uuencode must be installed as part
of "sharutils", which often doesnn't happen. SunOS and FreeBSD don't
supply "base64" so we use "uuencode" instead.

Two other Redhat Enterprise platforms also worked with base64, but
uuencode was not installed.
2. Find out if the script works on Windows and Mac or can be modified to
do so.
3. Make it work as a drag-and-drop application.
