[APBeta] DSS Image library

[Michael Portuesi]

I think a better (and simpler) compromise is outlined in my previous  
message:  Provide a user setting to choose the directory for DSS  
database, and make the default location along with all the other  
files.  Users who wish to exclude DSS from their backups can simply  
choose a different DSS folder, and then exclude that folder from Time  
Machine.
