Actually no---otherwise, I could have done it myself.  ;-)

Currently, when TYPE is `CDK_DBTYPE_DATA', `cdk_keydb_new ()'
raw-decodes the given buffer.  My suggestion was to _keep this behavior_
(for compatibility).  I would also suggest documenting this behavior.

To support base64-decoding, I suggested introducing a new function,
`cdk_keydb_new_from_stream ()', that would allow base64-decoding to be
implemented in a straightforward way (by setting the armor flag on the
input stream).

Does it sound reasonable?

Thanks,
Ludovic.
