How do I add a path to the global search path for libraries?

I have a local path for my component libraries that is different from the global search path. (KiCad overwrites the global library directory when it updates, so I would rather not have this path in the global location). I would like this path to always be included in every project, automatically. I would also like for the libraries to be included in every project, rather than having to add them each time.

Any idea how to do this?

(I’m on OS X, and running 4.0.3)

Edit kicad.pro from share\kicad\templates.
This of course works for new projects. Older project you have to edit manually.
