Actually, I had already decided to add something like this, I've been doing
some long renders myself recently and always had to be careful I didn't hit
'stop' instead of 'tray'.

I'll probably make it conditional on the render having progressed for more than
a certain amount of time (probably half an hour).

I don't want it on by default since when I'm working on a scene I regularly
stop the render early, and being bugged each time would be a nuisance.
