soldermask. Nevertheless, it would be nice to have proper gerbers to
begin with, i.e., gerbers with no silkscreen in soldermaskless areas.
Of course, most of the problem can be taken care of by drawing the
footprints properly. However, sometimes the silkscreen of one
footprint ends up on the pads of another one (think components under a
so-dimm card, for example). The attached patch adds an option to
subtract the soldermask from the silkscreen when doing gerber output.

Pcbnew: Fixed an issue in GERBER file creation, under Vista and W7 only for non administrator users
Plot files were 0 byte length.
This was due to use of function tmpfile() in a GERBER function to create a temporary file that seems not working using mingw.
Replaced by more usual files functions.
