Local Packages

• Cleaned up and rebuilt moin-theme-dew

• Updated perl-Module-Build to 0.34; I couldn't get t/PL_files.t to work with RHL-9 and RHEL-3 so I disabled it for perl < 5.8.1:

• Not quite sure what was going wrong there but perhaps related to the old version of File::Temp on those releases?

• Updated unrar to 3.9.5 and made the package compatible with the one in RPM Fusion, by including subpackages for libunrar and libunrar-devel, and using alternatives to manage the unrar binary (and also its manpage, which the RPM Fusion version doesn't do yet)
