Some considerations about libclamunrar

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

The currently splitted code, is not gpl compliant
since libclamav passes structures from/to libclamurar
perhaps making a function like
unrar_extract(rar, destination)

or similar, it's still gpl compatible
since it's the same of calling an external program
with fork

Feedbacks?

Regards

the section of gplv2 about this:

Gianluigi,
this is being addressed, and that's the main reason for the 0.92 delays :/

Anyway, thanks for pointing it out.
