[SoaS] Location of Turtle Blocks snapshots within directory structure?

[Walter Bender]

The object in the datastore is what you need. There are cmd line
utilities for grabbing objects from the Sugar datastore. A bit
awkward. Any reason you don't want to run a persistent image?

(If you use Turtle outside of Sugar (in gtk3) there is a separate save
to file option.)
