rar.patch

archivers/rar installs a statically linked version of the rar executable. A=
s a
result, the misc/compat9x dependency is not actually needed by rar itself. =
I've
been told it is needed by self-extractors made with rar (see bug #199704), =
but
otherwise, it is not needed at all. If it would be better to make this an
OPTION, like the aforementioned bug suggests, I could provide a replacement
patch for that.
