Can you tell me which systems allow you to do that?  I know that under *BSD
there were ways to do that, allowed or not depending on some global setting
because such user-transfer of file ownership can be a security hole in
itself.  Basically only `root' can use `chown' on modern POSIX
systems, AFAIK.
