Proposal for windows filenames:

* Autosave

Save in c:\Documents and Profiles\Usersname\Local Settings\Application Data\hugin or c:\Users\Usersname\Local Settings\Application Data\hugin (depending on version). On Linux this could be Home/.hugin; but not sure about MacOS.
Filename is random and unique
Automatic deletion when closing hugin
Provide automatic loading of autosave file

* Backup
in the same folder as project file
On saving file rename file on disc to filename_date_time.pto
Save current state under filename.pto
User is responsible for cleanup

Title:
  Backup copy of project.

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...).
