There is documented extern interest in star integration. The problem was just
that Fred did not contact the star mailing list and that there may be other
people who have the interrest but are not on the star developers mailing list.
I cannot speak for Sun and in case that there is no interrest inside Sun, I
cannot understand why - given the fact that a less powerful tool like GNU tar
was already integrated.
