About the same thing is available for UNIX (Linux) and it's FREE, too :)

A tool called RendView, developed by. Homepage: 
http://www.cip.physik.uni-muenchen.de/~wwieser/ani/rendview/

It also supports only rendering modified frames (based on timestamps 
like make(1) does it [not complete yet]), tuning on a per-frame basis 
and several other things. 

People who are looking for a tool to render animations on several 
computers (100 or so should still be okay) are welcome to check that 
out and give me some feedback (suggestions,...)
