+Summary: Convert.FromBase64String doesn't accept NL and LF in the string
+
+Description of Problem:
+Base64 convertion is too rigid. Some characters, like NL and LF, should 
+be ignored during convertion.
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Compile attached source
+2. Execute
+
+
+Actual Results (with mono):
+Unhandled Exception: System.FormatException: Invalid format
+in <0x000b5> System.Convert:FromBase64CharArray (char[],int,int)
+in <0x00056> System.Convert:FromBase64String (string)
+in <0x00062> .BAse64WithNL:Main (string[])
+
+Expected Results (with MS):
+15-30
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always
+
+Additional Information:
+- There might be other characters that should be accepted/ignored in the 
+base64 string.
+- This affects certmgr.exe from loading PEM encoded certificates.
