libarchive support is a work in progress. It needs quite a bit of integration work still. You can see my branch:

If you'd like to contribute that'd be great. The first step is getting it working for rar (to drop that hideous unrarlibx) Others can then follow.

cool! libarchive/bsdtar is the best alternative to open rar archives! i will look at it to see the process, thanks so much
