| Is there a possibility that this will be bad for older users of FreeBSD

I think chown has always accepted either '.' or ':' as a user/group
delimiter (glancing through CVS logs), but we are trying to switch to
using ':' everywhere as we want to support usernames with periods in
them (ie: chown john.smith:mygroup file), I think. Every other port
(hopefully) was modified to use chown user:group instead of chown
user.group too.
