- Add a new API to the ``repoze.bfg.configuration.Configurator``

  class: ``add_settings``.  This API can be used to add "settings"
  (information returned within via the
  ``repoze.bfg.settings.get_settings`` API) after the configurator has
  been initially set up.  This is most useful for testing purposes.
