If you mean "Add an API that sets the source-map for a target" say to SBTarget, 
then that sounds great.  

But if we're going to add an API to get at settings in general, then we should 
talk about it more broadly before anybody gets started.  There was a bunch of 
stuff that we wanted to do with settings that we never got around to, but still 
want to do.  In particular, we had intended some as yet unspecified syntax for 
restricting settings to particular scenarios.  Not this, but something like:

settings set target[OS=OSX].expr-prefix my_osx_prefix.h

gives you an idea of what we had in mind.  I'd rather not add a full on API for 
the settings till we decide either how we want to do this (which I think would 
be worth the effort but I don't think any of us have got time to address this 
right now) or to scrap it and go with flat settings.
