I'm sorry, here are the missing patches. Many thanks for the integration.

The aim is to synchronize these patterns, so the English dictionary
patch results the generated hyph_en_US.dic of the last Hyphen.

With the new improvements of the Hyphen dictionary, there is no need
for extra hyphenation patterns and parameters to handle the
hyphenation near apostrophes and hyphens (my patches for English
hyphenation dictionaries of OpenOffice.org contained them). en_US
patterns are the TeX patterns + TugBoat fixes (see README), en_GB
patterns based on the original TeX patterns (generated from the
114k-word list of Oxford University Press)  + my (now unnecessary,
except the RIGHTHYPHENMIN 3 line) patches. (Maybe, according to
TugBoat, LEFTHYPHENMIN=3 is better for British English, but only the
RIGHTHYPHENMIN=3 was the default parameter in TeX for this hyphenation
dictionary. LEFTHYPHENMIN=3 can be set easily on the user interface.)
The new patched version of hyph_en_GB is perfect for the Hyphen, it
works with the older versions of the library, too.
Now the biggest problem is the bad American English hyphenation of LibreOffice.
