Wrap incomplete files with a copy of torrent data instead of renaming

This was an idea I thought about to provide a bit of redundancy. Instead of simply renaming incomplete files why not make the .!UT file a wrapper of some sort containing the incomplete file as well as a copy of the torrent and file data.

The reason for this suggestion is say there is a crash and you lose your µtorrent folder and all your .torrent files. But you still have your incomplete files on a storage device. If you can store a copy of the torrent and relevant file and location info inside the .!UT file you would simply be able to double click the incomplete file and µtorrent would be able to resume as if nothing had happened. It would probably take some major code changes to do this but it is an interesting idea.
