To make a category work, you need to get it linked/loaded in to your program 
... which may mean that some code in your program needs to refer to something 
in the file containing the category.
eg. of the category is in a file foo.m containing the class foo, your code 
could call [foo class] just so that the linker will pull that into your program 
ensuring that the category will eb there at runtime.

I haven't looked, but if you need to add base64 encoding/decoding support, 
gnustep-base already has some base64 methods  as extensions in the GSMime class.
