I was adding this as I'd like to be able to query dylan-compiler from a script to get back useful information ... like the current set of registries that would be searched, or where the install location is.

Unfortunately, this patch isn't really sufficient as properties are written for humans to read, so we perhaps need machine-readable property output. Also, error handling isn't all that great yet.

An alternative would be to just handle the set of values that I actually need here rather than making it fully general with the properties system.
