The original word list still does exist?  Good to know.  IMHO, this
word list should be extended with much more English words (including
all the exception entries), then patgen should simply create new
patterns...

Fortunately, this is a wrong assumption.  The standard `patgen'
program (current TeXLive version is 2.4) can support up to 256
different characters, which is definitely sufficient for English.
