      tools/: Link curve_keygen with a c++ linker · b50ed02a
      Gergely Nagy authored
      When trying to linking curve_keygen as if it was a C program, linking
      fails (at least with gcc 4.8 on Debian testing) because it can't find
      C++ symbols. Linking with g++ instead fixes the issue.
      
      To achieve this, the source is renamed to curve_keygen.cpp, and
      tools/Makefile.am is updated accordingly.

      Added Z85 support · 70417701
      Pieter Hintjens authored
      The use of binary for CURVE keys is painful; you cannot easily copy
      these in e.g. email, or use them directly in source code. There are
      various encoding possibilities. Base16 and Base64 are not optimal.
      Ascii85 is not safe for source (it generates quotes and escapes).
      
      So, I've designed a new Base85 encoding, Z85, which is safe to use
      in code and elsewhere, and I've modified libzmq to use this where
      it also uses binary keys (in get/setsockopt).
      
      Very simply, if you use a 32-byte value, it's Base256 (binary),
      and if you use a 40-byte value, it's Base85 (Z85).
      
      I've put the Z85 codec into z85_codec.hpp, it's not elegant C++
      but it is minimal and it works. Feel free to rewrap as a real class
      if this annoys you.
