Patch attached.

TODO: change the interval to say 120 seconds. 
TODO: Add a preference for the autosave interval. (but 120 will do for now IMHO). 
TODO: The file currently lands in the CWD of hugin: /tmp . I think would prefer: current dir when hugin was started. Or user's homedir. 
TODO: Think about: should we keep the debug output: "autosaving.... done"?

TODO: Think if we should delete the file on normal exit? I vote: no.

** Attachment added: "Preliminary autosaving patch."

Status in Hugin - Panorama Tools GUI: Confirmed

Bug description:
Hugin just crashed on me. Pre 0.7.0 this happened so often that I knew I had to save often, or risk losing my work. 

So far this is the first since I went to 0.7.0. Now 0.8.0 crashed on me.... However I'm most pissed that a pto file got saved to run "nona", but this gets (I think) cleaned up after running nona. So now I'm left with a project file with hours of work missing. 

PLEASE write a backup pto file where I can find it, or mention "this project had unsaved changes when hugin crashed, load the backup file?" when I start it. (then I don't need to know where the backup is stored...).
