#1332: wingrass: during install generating font configuration file fails

Installing winGrass 6.4.1.RC2-1 on winXP
During installation, generating the font configuration file
(run_gmkfontcap.bat) fails because %GISBASE%/etc/fontcap file already
exists. (Have wondered for some months why the command window that opens
during winGrass installation then closes with a beep.)
In addition, the pre-existing fontcap file contains font locations (e.g.
c:/osgeo4/....) that don't exist on a standard Win XP and winGrass 6.4.1
binary install.
