wow, i didn't realize \settingsFrom was added in November!
ok, so i understand that \settingsFrom and \layout-from are similar but  
independent from themselves.
Still, one thing puzzles me: are there any situations in which \layout-from  
can't be used and \settingsFrom works?  Every example of \settingsFrom  
usage i found on mailing list could be replaced with \layout-from, unless  
i'm wrong somewhere.
Maybe we shall deprecate \settingsFrom?  \layout-from is more user-friendly  
i think.
