convert_uuencode encodes a string using the uuencode
algorithm.
Uuencode translates all strings (including binary data) into printable
characters, making them safe for network transmissions. Uuencoded data is
about 35% larger than the original.
convert_uuencode neither produces the begin
nor the end line, which are part of uuencoded files.
