Is anyone working on this?
Otherwise I would try to grab this out of MiniIN and to prepare a patch to the current trunk (just the auto-complete features, not the GUI). I am not, yet, very familiar with the OpenTTD sources, so I can not promise anything.
What would be the conditions to get it into trunk in near future, or is there no chance?

So, that was easier than I thought.
I tested it only very shortly, but AFAICS it works including follow-up across tunnels and bridges and building under bridges.
Have fun.

I seem to have noticed a bug/missing feature
when you have a piece of track without signals, which directly (without junctions) connects to a piece with signals, you used to be able to just 'auto complete' the part without signals, but now it gives an error: "No suitable railway track".. see screenshot

doesn't seam to be a problem with the in trunk version
on that, if your anything like me, you will probably not sure how to use autosignaling in the nightly/trunk builds - its quite simple realy, you need to ctrl+drag
thats it

There are "missing features" with the trunk version though. An extreme example: You have a 100 tiles long track and set the patch option to place a signal every 4 tiles. Now imagine that you have RRRBBRRBBRRBB.... so the 4th tile is always a bridge while the rest is rail then the in trunk version won't place a single signal because the place where it should be is blocked by a bridge. This old patch would detect such things or for example when there are only 3 tiles left before a junction it will detect it and place a signal on the last tile as well. This feature is even more important when the drag singal option is set to let's say 8 or more tiles. I assume that this requires a lot of code and therefore isn't in the trunk version. But maybe an "enhancing patch" could fix that. When I have some time I look at the old and new code and see if I can cook a good menu
