Recent CAS server versions have the capability to send attributes without modification of the CAS protocol, which would be the consequence of editing the file you mentioned. CAS clients using the Jasig Java CAS client can, for example, be configured to validate tickets at /samlValidate which will return attributes to the client in a SAML attribute assertion payload. The Java client deals with that internally and makes the attributes available in a Map object in the session.
See http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/CASUM/Attributes for an overview of configuring this on the server. http://www.middleware.vt.edu/doku.php?id=middleware:cas:client#obtaining_pid_and_attributes_from_java_application has some examples for extracting attributes on the client.
