I've added two programs to *-free package:

    unrar

    - Displays notice that the *-free version can only handle older RAR
      archives
    - Refers to included downloader program (see next)

    unrar-nonfree-install

    - installs the *-nonfree that can handle later RAR archives.

This would solve the distribution issues by providing a downloaded code
only. Individual users can install the *-nonfree version if they so wish.

Having a RAR cabable extractor on command line would be an addition to
Cygwin.
