What I do is:
- In .vimrc (or _vimrc) near the beginning I have

let did_install_default_menus = 4

- I have my menu.vim in vimfiles or .vim (early in the runtimepath
option).
- In .gvimrc or _gvimrc I have

if did_install_default_menus == 4
"default menu.vim was suppressed
unlet did_install_default_menus
runtime menu.vim
endif

What's not good about my approach is that whenever there's a new
version of menu.vim I merge it with my changes, a tedious task, to
avoid fossilization. However, only once or twice were there many
changes.
