Python 2.3 should have os.lchown but it appears MacOS's doesn't. It also appears that lchown isn't provided by fcntl.h either. Need confirmation on these two points, though.
Seems macos <=10.3 doesn't support lchown at all.
Sad but true, no lchown() on <=10.3. This *might* be fixed in 10.4, but I can't really say for about another 5 days ;)
