There may be some weird Windows Registry stunt you could pull on XP to do this. 
If it exists, it would modify the user's env vars in a persistent fashion; it 
would survive a reboot, for instance.

On OS X, there may be a similar hook somewhere, but I doubt it. This kind of 
thing just doesn't fit the traditional Unix model of how env vars are handled, 
so it would likely require adding a setting to a plist file somewhere.

Saving it to a file is probably your best/safest bet.
