Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Update blobToString to support 'binary' encoding. This
 takes the data String value and decodes it as Base64 then saves the binary
 result in the Blob.

Supporting this additional encoding method means that data expressed as Base64 in Javascript can be converted to binary and then saved in the filesystem. Data URL's like Canvas can then be saved as images.
