ffap: Directory does not exist, create it? Yeah sure, without permission

Using ffap, many a mistype causes the often seen
  Directory does not exist, create it? (y or n)
Well, as 99% of the time, the answer is n, at least it could check
if the user could indeed create a dir there before asking, as the
answer would be
  Creating directory: permission denied, /etc/nurdly/
anyway.

Better would be just to assist the user in typing the names of
existing files, i.e. don't wipe out what he has typed so far...
