If any of your "modifications" are bug fixes, then please share them 
with us ASAP.

However, if they're really just custom modifications for your 
environment (and are not of general applicability), then you should 
try to find a way to move them into your own code, rather than 
modifying the installed code.  (As I noted earlier, if there are 
modifications that we can make (e.g., "private:" -> "protected:") 
that can make that easier, let us know.)
