The original use case for this was not someone making the log directory
unwriteable, but someone (myself!) forgetting to add the directory referred to
in the ErrorLog directive. I would then run configtest and since it said
everything looked OK, thought I was good to go - but restarting the server
would actually stop it dead.

At least printing out a warning gives you a flag that that needs to be fixed.
It needn't actually try writing to the files - just checking that their
directories exist would be OK for me...
