I don't find a reference to the base64 program in
tramp-remote-coding-commands.  Is there a reason for this?

No special reason. Likely because it is a rather new command. Maybe
it is sufficient to apply

(add-to-list 'tramp-remote-coding-commands '(b64 "base64" "base64 --decode"))

If it works, I could add it in Tramp permanently.

Best regards, Michael.

It seems to work for me; at least after evaluating that form I can
still open files on a remote host (/ssh:foo:bar) where that host has
base64 installed.

tramp-remote-coding-commands has been touched last time on 2005-07-31.
So it is a brand new command :-)

I've fixed it in CVS.

Thanks for the report, and best regards, Michael.
