Leah Rowe e9a910b33c config/git: import suckless sbase
i currently use the output of sha512sum in several
places of xbmk, which is a bit unreliable in case
output changes.

other cases where i use util outputs in variables
are probably reliable, because i'm using mostly
posix utilities in those.

to mitigate this, i now import suckless sbase, which
has a reasonable sha512sum implementation.

*every* binary it builds is being placed in build.list,
because i'll probably start using more of them.

for example, i may start modifying the "date"
implementation, adding the GNU-specific options that
i need as mentioned on init.sh

i'm importing it in util/ because the sha512sum
util is needed for verifying project sources, so
if sbase itself is a "project source", that means
we can into a chicken and egg bootstrapping problem.

this is sbase at revision:

.Os sbase
.Sh NAME
.Nm uudecode
.Nd decode a uuencoded file
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl m
.Op Fl o Ar output
.Op Ar file
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
reads
.Ar file
and writes a decoded version to the file specified in the uuencoded header.
In case the file already exists, it is truncated.
Otherwise a new file is created.
The permissions of the created/accessed file are changed to reflect the
mode in the header.
If no
.Ar file
is given
.Nm
reads from stdin.
.Sh OPTIONS
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fl m
Use Base64 for decoding.
.It Fl o Ar output
Write to
.Ar output
rather than the file specified in the header.
.El
.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
For safety uudecode operates on regular files and stdout only.
Trying to uudecode to a link, directory, or special file
yields an error.
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr uuencode 1
.Sh STANDARDS
POSIX.1-2013.
.Pp
The
.Op Fl m
flag is an extension to that specification.
