Please point to the message in the opensolaris.org mailman archives 
where you requested a sponsor to integrate star.  I would have expected 
to see this on request-sponsor@ or sfwnv-discuss at .  Anything you did 
before OpenSolaris existed is no longer relevant, OpenSolaris changed 
the world.

It obviously doesn't work then because freshmeat.net lists both star and 
ImageMagic.
