Any chance of getting this into Experimental as well?

here is a quick patch. it adds the following options to the location parameter:
river: one tile of factory adjacent to river tile
shore: one tile of factory on a sloped shore tile
forest: more than X trees on the tiles covered by the factory, X=area of factory
Windows executables for patched version of simutrans and makeobj:

Edit: More on the implementation: No check whether the shore tile is connected to an ocean. No check for major rivers or lakes. Building dams is pretty tough code-wise.
If the factory site finder gives up looking for places with the right climates it still considers the location constraint. That is, a factory with location=river will only placed on rivers or never be built (if the site finder does not find a suitable spot). This can be changed ofc.
Has this gone into the Standard trunk? If so, Bernd Gabriel is working on merging at the present.
No it is not, as the factory builder itself has undergone some renovation. It is much considered however.
Ahh, thank you for letting me know.
