I'm not sure how long it's been on Josef's todo list, all I know is
that when I asked him if he could do it he said it was too tedious,
and that he would not do it.

It's not the only problem, as stated above it gets very tedious
hooking all the places in TTD and the patch were the variables are
used, although admittedly with my exams currently I haven't really put
in much effort in working round such things.

Well, the plan was to hook as many properties as possible, although a
few will be left for obivous reasons. As for articulated vehicles, I
don't understand then enough to make any comments. Josef says that
they should be able to have stats (trains) although I never tried to
make them have stats. :)

I believe he can compile the DOS version now, (un)fortinueatly, it
would be unfair to just support the Windows version, I know people
like MB (who I believe still uses the DOS version of the patch)
probably won't like me too much for it. I'll probably try loading ME
or using Linux to test it.
