I have no problem sending you patches, but you need to tell me what
your source is and which option you want to support:
a) having a separate set of patterns
b) loading patterns from hyph-utf8 (for pTeX only; that would be the
easiest and good enough in my opinion)

I would really not like to change date of patterns just for the sake
of this tiny change since patterns themselves would remain the same.
