Summary: PageEditor _make_backup fails on Win32

Initial Comment:
Using MoinMoin on Win32:

While editing a page, if you preview your changes and 
then additionally try the spell checker you get an 
"OSError: [Errno 17] File exists".

The problem is that on win32 os.rename does not 
overwrite a file if it already exists.

To attached patch corrects this by removing the old file 
on win32 before renaming.
