POV-Ray for Windows v3.0 allowed you to do this but I am not sure why
the feature was discontinued in v3.1. The work around I use is if I
want to return to a prior state I use multiple undo's to get back
where I was at. This technically bypasses the save feature allowing
you to save at any point you want in your development.

Only drawback to this last method is if you are working with a 50 meg
file.
