You could make the changes in the file init.ly or 
declarations.ly. The problem is that you have to 
remember it every time you upgrade Lilypond (the rest 
of the file might have changed.

One solution could be to add a directory first in LILYINCLUDES
where you put a file "declarations.ly" with the following
contents:

-----------------------
\include "<full path to the default declarations.ly>"

% Private changes:
\include "english.ly"

------------------------
