Hi,

Attached is an (admittedly hacky) patch that nukes the rarlabs and gna
rar support for unar.

unar is not a direct drop in replacement as it uses different commands
to list and extract files. 

I'm not sure if it would be a better idea to write a wrapper for unar
and lsar instead. In the long run Evince should probably use libarchive
for all compressed files.
