The patch looks good.  It’s fine to delete the non-free files in a
snippet.  I have a couple of changes that I’d to see in the package
expression, though.

You don’t need “string-append” here.

> +                  (delete-file-recursively "CPP/7zip/Compress/Rar")))

I think we may want to delete even more Rar stuff to be on the safe
side, so the total list of deletions would be:

    CPP/7zip/Archive/Rar/
    CPP/7zip/Archive/Rar*
    CPP/7zip/Crypto/Rar*
    CPP/7zip/Compress/Rar*
    DOC/unRarLicense.txt
    Utils/file_Codecs_Rar_so.py

What do you think?

Also note that the snippet should end on “#t”.

We should end phases with “#t”.  However, in this case I think we should
better move this to the replaced install phase to keep related things in
one place.

I think we can avoid replacing the build phase by adding

    #:make-flags '("all3")

instead.  What do you think?

I don’t understand the comment.  The makefiles don’t seem to have an
“install” target at all.

How about replacing “Unix” with “POSIX”?

Here I’d like to see a comment that explains what this list means.

Do you think you could provide us with an updated patch?  If you’re
already tired of this patch I could perform the changes on your behalf
some time later.

Thanks for your patience so far :)
