I like OpenWrt (that's the only correct spelling BTW) too much to
refrain from commenting here. In fact, doing what you describe is
usually very easy.

$ make package/<packagename>/{clean,prepare} V=s
$ cd build_dir/target-*/<packagename>-*
$ <do whatever mods you want to try>
$ cd -
$ make package/<packagename>/compile V=s
$ <repeat as needed>

When one needs to add or modify additional OpenWrt-specific patches,
it's easy too, the procedure is described in details at [1].
