Installer should conditionally put system files into place for upgrades

Description
With the system tree settled, the rule for the 4.1 installer will be to install what we have left in the package in system/ only for upgrades.
New installs can skip that step, since web.xml will not contain references to them (it does right at this second, but it can be corrected when this is done).

That was remarkably easy to do for the command line because of the way that the windows installer is constructed (the files come from an unpacked distribution) there is no way to mak this work on windows, but I don't think this matters. in V5 these files will (I assume) go anyway so for now we are keeping installs as clean as possible.

I think that's true. The files don't hurt anything regardless, so there's no real risk if they end up there by mistake.
