Item9313: configure WorkingDir warning is odd

I'm sure we don't actually care if the README is writeable - I'm guessing it should be telling the admin that the directories are not writeable?

{WorkingDir} required    use default
Error: /home/sven/src/svn.foswiki.org/core/working/README is not writable
/home/sven/src/svn.foswiki.org/core/working/work_areas/README is not writable
/home/sven/src/svn.foswiki.org/core/working/tmp/README is not writable
/home/sven/src/svn.foswiki.org/core/working/registration_approvals/README is not writable

Not that simple; for example, a pre-existing log file has to be writable.

We could filter the name README but IMHO it's more effort than it's worth.

Confirmed and lowered from Urgent to Low.

Does this still happen? The test for the Working directory is supposed to filter out the README files:

my $e = $this->checkTreePerms( $Foswiki::cfg{WorkingDir}, 'rw', qr/configure\/backup\/|README/ );

I just did chmod -w to a README file in working and it does not trigger any errors/warnings.
