The method Urs named is possible with openLilyLib, but not with the 
LilyPond source.  That
means you would have to get a VM to work, or install a Unix system in 
parallel – both a lot of
effort for one small patch obviously.  Or you just e-mail your patch to 
the devel list and ask for
someone to shepherd it through the review process and into the code base 
for you, which is done
from time to time.
