   I think it would be better if we could forward arguments to stack.

   I'd also prefer it to be a command line option, as that makes invocations of stack2nix more reproducible.

   Shouldn't we use already defined environment variables from stack then ? Like just STACK_ROOT and then command argument --stack-root ? Maybe having an argument --stack-arguments="--stack-root='...'..." to proxy stack arguments ?

   I remember there were issues using the default $STACK_ROOT, but I can't remember what it was. Maybe @jmitchell can chip in why we chose a separate hardcoded value.
