  If this is so in 3.5 then it has changed since 3.1. The idea of that .rca
file is precisely to be able to continue interrupted renders.
  AFAIK if you render half-image in one computer and then copy the pov files,
the partial image *and* the .rca-file to another computer and continue
rendering there (with +c), the result should be the same is if you had
rendered the whole image in one run.
