Thanks.  Unfortunately, I get:
| oathtool: base32 decoding failed: Base32 string is invalid

This is because my string is lowercase whereas oathtool expects it to
be uppercase (oathtool works fine if I convert it to uppercase).  My
understanding of base32 is that both upper and lower case is accepted.
(But I haven't actually read the standard.)

Anyway, thanks for implementing this!
