Yes it appears that [ANY_USE] tag will allow the creation of metal mechanisms, in addition you can create Catapult and Ballista parts at the forge and Metal clothing all of which seem to be linked to this tag.  This could serve as a partial solution for those that REALLY demand steel mechanisms right now, the metal clothing is a bit annoying but you can just ignore it if your desperate.  The idea of making an Iron Ballistas is also amazingly awesome. 

Do the siege engine parts actually work though?  IIRC when I tried to make them from adamantine, I got the bizarre cancellation "Needs metal logs."

That is because the only type of material that is recognized by certain tasks is logs, so you need metal logs. This is a simple fix, and just requires adding

[REACTION:METAL_LOGS]
[NAME:make adamantine logs]
[SMELTER]
[REAGENT:1:STONE:NO_SUBTYPE:STONE:RAW_ADAMANTINE]
[PRODUCT:100:1:WOOD:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:ADAMANTINE]
[FUEL]

That should work. This came up way back on the old forums right around 30c.
