My 2 cents:
you should not go for options 3+4 (self-compiled unrar.dlls). At least not for the default installation of TC. This would break the option of the user to, for whatever reason, exchange the unrar.dll with another official version from rarlab.
Of the proposals presented so far, I like @dalai's best - a repository in the form of a zip file which would allow the user to select, even to switch at runtime, which solution to use. As @dalai points out, this would work off-line (re: security of end-of-life OS) and also keep the user's choice to manually switch to another official unrar.dll (e.g. the latest beta for testing purposes).
