[Bf-committers] Naming of auto save files

[gandalf3]

Hm.. I'm not sure it would be very useful. Seems like it would be a bit 
of a trick to decide what operations are "crash capable". For me at 
least, Blender hardly ever crashes while rendering or baking (or at all 
for that matter :D), whenever it *does* happen it seems like it's some 
spontaneous and un-reproducable thing which seemingly could happen at 
any time. Not to mention other problems outside of blender crashing, 
e.g. a power outage.

I find that the normal auto-save set to 1 minute does a pretty fine job 
of saving my work, my only problem is finding it without opening like 
three different files.
