binary to 5-letter words encoder/decoder

[Stefan Claas]

Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated!

I am aware of the well known pgp-wordlist, however like you state when
using audio channels the pgp-wordlist may not be the best option for
non-native (US) English speakers, because it contains many words which
probably a lot of non-native speakers are not familiar with and have
then difficulties to write the words down. Then there is mnemonicodes
available, but the list in there
contains to many words, while it is more efficient when encoding.

Hence my humble approach.

Regards
Stefan
