* Version 5.3.0.
+ When chown or chgrp is modifying the referent of a symlink,
+ use the chown(2) function, if possible.
+ * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Don't hard-code the
+ open/fchown/close kludge here. Use `chown' instead.
+ The chown function works just fine on conforming systems.
+ Other systems now go through the new chown wrapper that
+ resorts to the old kludge.

* src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Add a comment.
