Well if one wants star to get integrated into IllumOS, then I would
ask for the integrations of MPlayer!!! I think we should leave the 
developers of Illumos care about the kernel and the drivers and 
nothing else. Whether star would replace tar or GNU tar (I definitely 
need this as most source code archives cannot be opened with 
SUN's tar), should be left to the distro people to deal with. 
Slackware and Debian are two Linux distributions that differ 
significantly, but the drivers and the kernel are the same...
