UnRAR only extracts RAR archives

That's what all 3rd party archivers do. Only rarlab software 
can create rar archives.

Which is one reason for not including RAR support, even if it 
would be nice.

I just checked the RAR 5.0 technote, and it only appears to cover 
the file format. No algorithms are described. So, there doesn't 
seem to be a way to support RAR without using UnRAR, and using 
UnRAR doesn't seem too likely due to its licence.
