I know I can put it in via the API.
What i'd like to do is have the indexer stored in a configuration file
so that if i delete all my indexes and recreate the 'content' index it
is automatically applied - in the same manner that i have mappings for
various different types stored as json files in the config/mapping
directory

There isn't a way to associate a specific settings with an index (as you can with mappings). It was raised several times, but I don't think an issue was opened to implement it.
