Werner, you should open a JIRA and explain with a few words the improvement. Then, work with the trunk classes and create the patches with 'svn diff'. Finally, you can upload the patches to the JIRA accepting the Apache license. Thus, it is easier to keep the patches under control. Thanks for the contribution! :-)
