This is done by a Python script, configure.py, which you might find and
utilize.

However, modifying the original would mean that you loose either your
variant or any improvements with the next lyx version. Maybe a wrapper
(with your extensions and a call to the original) could be designed.

You can add converters to lyxrc.dist, which is read before the
lyxrc.default produced by reconfigure.
