Description

The patch provides partial implementation of quoted-printable codec (rule #1 &
rule #2 as described in RFC 1521).

I decided to not implement rule #3, rule #4, rule #5 of the quoted-printable
spec yet, because the complete quoted-printable spec does not lend itself well
into byte[] oriented codec framework. I will happily complete the codec once the
steamable codec framework is ready. The motivation behind providing the codec in
a partial form is that it can already come in handy for those applications that
do not require quoted-printable line formatting (rules #3, #4, #5), for instance
Q codec.
