Modifying paper.scm is annoying when installing a new version of
lilypond (Even though that's the recommended workaround in 4.1.2 of
the notation reference). Thanks for the workaround.

Here's what I ended up doing:

#(define (add-paper-size paper-def)
  (set! paper-alist (cons paper-def paper-alist)))
#(define (set-custom-paper-size paper-def)
  (add-paper-size paper-def)
  (set-paper-size (car paper-def)))

\paper
{
  #(set-custom-paper-size '("6x9" . (cons (* 6 in) (* 9 in))))
}
