[Bf-committers] Pausing render

[Harley Acheson]

Actually I'd love more than just a "pause".  I'd like to save the entire
rendering
state into the blend file.  So I can launch Blender, open up an existing
file and
continue rendering from where it left off the last time.

So create a film file like Luxrender's Fleximage but also also allow us to
pack
it into the blend.
