I think you don't need to patch for many cases. It should be enough to
create a class in your project that is inside the package
org.opencms.main. This is what I am using:

package org.opencms.main;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;

import org.opencms.file.CmsObject;

/**
 * Provides methods from the OpenCms core that can't be accessed outside
of the package.
 *
 * @author  Florian Hopf, Synyx GmbH & Co. KG, hopf at synyx.de
 */
public class OpenCmsCoreAccessImpl implements OpenCmsCoreAccess {


    public CmsObject initCmsObject(HttpServletRequest request) throws
CmsException {

        return OpenCmsCore.getInstance().initCmsObjectFromSession(request);
    }
}

Not sure if this will work for all cases, but it should if you
additionally use the OpenCms login mechanism which makes sure that the
session is initialized correctly.
