The default is specified as a scheme option. In particular in scm/lily.scm the paper-size option is defined to "a4" and then later on (in ly/declarations- init.ly) this option value is used to call set-default-paper-size. So, you can change the default paper size by either -) including set-default-paper-size in one of your include packages, -) including it in the score, -) including #(ly:set-option 'paper-size "letter") in your score -) using -dpaper-size="letter" on the command line -) etc. Of course, you could also modify scm/lily.scm directly, but that will be lost on a lilypond upgrade...
