Be carefull with non-standard. rar is _the_ standard on windows.
So a lot of people think it's the standard everywhere. It should spell
rather something like "not any other format". And IMHO we should add
here zip (ie the pkzip fromat) too, as it's a widely used format and
there is a free prog for it on unix too. IMHO2, the ordering should be
gzip, bzip2, zip, mainly because of the speed of gzip.
