This works for Snippets and things, but I'm not sure if it works for  
the Language grammars themselves. I had a similar question in August  
and Allan said:

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but I've taken to trashing my delta for  
the PHP grammar and re-doing my customizations each time I suspect it  
might have been updated. Obviously, I would like someone to tell me  
I'm wrong here. :)
