[issue17618] base85 encoding

[Martin Morrison]

Martin Morrison added the comment:

I wrote an implementation from scratch (based on the wikipedia article; I've not looked at any existing implementations) in pure Python in the attached diff. It includes tests.

Feel free to use it as the pure Python implementation if desired, though I won't be offended if you just end up using the Mercurial one. :-)
