Hm... I guess that would be a feature waiting to be implemented.

Are we talking about Unix or Windows?

IIRC the Windows version already pops up a warning when stopping a long
render; maybe we could extend that window to offer three choices: Stop
now, stop as soon as the current frame has finished, or simply continue.
Of course that additional choice would have to be backed by new internal
logic, but I don't think it should be too difficult.

As for the Unix version, I'm not familiar enough with it to say how such
a functionality could be offered to the user.
