It could use write_stderr() if it fails the first time it loads the
config file, perhaps? But that may be far from a nice solution,
certainly.

The problem with changing the default from stderr to eventlog is that it
will send the messages to the eventlog even if running from the console,
which is not good.

Can defaults be set to the result of a function? If so we could use the
service checking function to change the default value,perhaps?
