Some chown binaries seem to support the . notation, but a few don't. I haven't looked into why that is. Since : is the arguably ubiquitous, conventional, and universal (?) syntax, I'm changing it to head in that direction. That said, usage of copy.sh should probably be phased out, anyway, and the from-rust-built binary copy should be used instead.

The colon format is the one specified by POSIX.
