These changes are not needed and I have removed them now. Thanks
magnum. Adding support for "rar -p" is still in the works and I will
publish the new patch when it is done (sounds okay or should I publish
a new patch just with the loader.c changes removed?). (stuck with
parsing rar files ATM).

Solar, some test rar files are included with the patch itself. I will
create the wiki page and upload them separately too. Thanks.
