rar.patch

archivers/rar installs a statically linked version of the rar executable. As 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.
