Hello,
The following patch fixes the _chown compdef for *BSD.
Recently FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT dropped the support for the non-POSIX
notation of the "user.group" style. Since all the BSD's have chown(1)
that understands the "user:group" style nowadays, I think this is a
reasonable and safe fix for *BSD.

Seeing as it hasn't yet been, I'll commit this, to both branches.

Urgh, do you know why? Surely support for `.' is no more than about two
lines of code and isn't doing any harm. Admittedly, I'm not a FreeBSD
user but having first learnt it as `.' I'd find this quite annoying.

Probably to support '.' characters in usernames.
