[patch] "django-admin.py startproject" fails unnecessarily when permissions can't be set for the new project.

Description

Running "django-admin.py startproject new_project_name" in an environment where permissions can't be set (a FAT32 partition mounted under Linux, in my case) results in an OSError. This doesn't need to happen if the user doesn't mind that permissions for the new project won't be set as django-admin.py wants to set them.

(In [3941]) Fixed #2956 -- Made 'django-admin.py startproject' tolerant of filesystem arrangements that cannot accept file-permission changes. Thanks for the patch, masonsimon+django@…
