Improvements in CharacterCategoryPatternExtractor

[GoogleCodeExporter]

For my task I got a slight but noticeable improvement in quality by adding a 
PatternType in CharacterCategoryPatternExtractor which only merges more than 
two repeats. 

In addition, it may be useful to make different distinctions than just Unicode 
category of characters, e.g. between letters of different scripts.

I've attached a patch here.

Alex,  Thank you for the patch!  It looks good.  For minor patches like this 
one we do not require a contributor's agreement, but you might consider 
becoming a contributor as explained 
[DeveloperFAQ#I_would_like_to_contribute_to_ClearTK.__What_now? here].  Any 
patch that is more substantial than this one will require a contributor's 
agreement.

I guess my attempt at embedding wiki syntax here failed.  Here is the URL:

Alex,

Steve and I debated about several different possibilities for the best way to 
accommodate your idea.  We ended up taking your proposal and patch pretty close 
to what you came up with.  We renamed the pattern type to 
REPEATS_AS_KLEENE_PLUS and changed the actual patterns to use a '+' rather than 
a repeated symbol.  The unit tests reflect this change, so take a look there.  

Thanks again for your help!

For some reason I am unable to join the cleartk-developers group and so can't 
ask for the email address to send the contribution agreement to.

Looks like there was a problem in our group configuration. Could you try 
joining again?
