Would someone please give it a try and let me know if it compiles and works? The patch adds an option -r to chown(8) and chgrp(1), which does pretty much the same as the -r option of touch(1) and truncate(1). Basically, it let's you "copy" ownerships and group memberships from one file to another, which is useful in scripts. Thanks!
