Description

I just encountered an issue where stack complains (and exists with !=0) when it wants to create a stack-root in a location owned by another user. This would be fine in general but even happens when the `--allow-different-user` flag is provided. Of course the user executing stack has write permissions inside that other directory.

If I manually create the folder beforehand (`mkdir`) stack doesn't complain at all.
