When i've had to do things like this, i've resorted to the base64
tcl package from
ftp://tcl.activestate.com/pub/tcl/tcllib/tcllib0.8.tar.gz

License probably would not allow its inclusion though.  *sigh*.  (I
also had to teach it to use 'binary format' rather than just
'format.')

(I ran into issues w/ what expect / tcl on cygwin did w.r.t. binary
file handling, when reading binary files...)
