DecodeBase58()

bool DecodeBase58	(	const std::string &	str,
		std::vector< unsigned char > &	vchRet,
		int	max_ret_len
	)

Why base-58 instead of standard base-64 encoding?

• Don't want 0OIl characters that look the same in some fonts and could be used to create visually identical looking data.
• A string with non-alphanumeric characters is not as easily accepted as input.
• E-mail usually won't line-break if there's no punctuation to break at.
• Double-clicking selects the whole string as one word if it's all alphanumeric. Encode a byte span as a base58-encoded string
