New issue 1068 by neziap: [PATCH] Eliminate PDF deletion in Windows 1027042

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2010-04/msg00385.html:

Lilypond would attempt to delete the output PDF before overwriting it in
Windows
(but no other platforms).  This is unnecessary and causes problems with  
certain
PDF viewers, e.g. Sumatra, where the PDF is kept open in a way that allows
overwriting but not deletion.  See also the discussion on bug-lilypond[1].
