I suggest moving unrar to another project were it can exist as a osbos port; on
its own. So probablely BeClan (www.beclan.org).

I have been thinking about the app issue for a while. With more progress on the
OS we will attract more apps. 

The first problem is legals. The second is the size of the repository and so
speed of updates. The third is the wierd mix of (cross) purposes that apps and
os developers have.

The simplest solution would be: that when the transition (to svn) is made an
application project is started. Standalone applications like Styledit and
Expander and ports would be kept seperate.

At the very least it would make updating and building much faster.
