 should use hexadecimal in the votes. I asked karsten here:

 i asked in IRC why we would encode the hash of a file in base 64 in a vote
 and i was told that we don't use raw bytes anymore.
 Searching for "base64" in dir-spec.txt, gives several results, though i
 couldn't find a paragraph that would confirm that.
