Unrar support in ZIP component
RAR compression is patented however the patent owner allows adding support for EXTRACTING RAR archives to third party applications. What about adding the UnRAR support to Rebex.ZIP?

RAR uses proprietary formats and algorithms and although UnRAR source code is available for free, it’s license is incompatible with ours (and with anyone else’s it seems – https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Unrar). Unfortunately, this means we will not be implementing UnRAR.
