As far as IllumOS is more than a kernel then I bet the most needed
userland utilties are needed: awk, od, pax, tar etc ... I was thinking
star will be 1st choice for IllumOS because of its life cycle, stability
and quality. Probable I dont see the real reason(s) star was let go for
IllumOS. Strange.
