What is the difference?

If the differences are not big, it may be simple to hack xattr.c in star.
Note that I am currently short before release 1.5a71 which contains a bug
fix in that file, so don't change it now.

Also note that I like to see a platform independent xattr support. This may
happen soon after more and more people implement NFSv4 which includes the
Solaris way of extended attributes.
