Can someone from MDK add rar archiver to Cooker/LM 8.2, please?

It's available for several Linux distros, and I am wondering why MDK doesn't 
have it. Check
http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=rar&submit=Search+...

I have taken this source
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/PLD/current/dists/ra/PLD/SRPMS/SRPMS/rar-2.90-2.src.rpm
and rebuild it without any problem (except rpm wanted , for some reason, to 
be built as root)
 
resulting binary (i586) rar works fine.

Reason why you may want to use rar, instead of zip:
zip can't cut archive into multiple pcs, say, of 1.5MB
You may need to send files as an attachment by mail, and as many mail servers 
reject all mails with attachements >2MB, tool like rar is absolutely 
necessary to have!
