Hi Eric:
Here's some code from my scripts to get you going, I had to deal with
this recently, though I dealt with the userSetup config differently (I
expected my animators to be able to do that, but I imagine it wouldn't
be too difficult to write a quick batch file to just append the lines
you need :P ):

Ignore the evalDeferred, you can just use a mel.eval() if you're going
to be running it after MayaWindow is already built. Really the only
important thing is just getting that gMainWindow var from MEL, then
everything else is easy. :)

In Maya, if I just call the rigTools.start() method, it will build it
into Maya, so you can just assign that to a shelf button if you want and
then your artists can just click that button to have the new menu added
to the menubar, if that's acceptable. Otherwise the only other easier
way I can think of is to have it as a scripted plugin like Owen said.
Hope that helps!
Yours sincerely,
Siew Yi Liang

Is it possible to add a menu to the top of the Maya UI from a Module?
I'm trying to build a small tool that I can distribute and don't want
the users to have to edit their userSetup.py or similar to have it
work. I just want them to drop a module into their module path and be
done with it.
Haven't found any info on this being available.
Thanks,
