META tags are evaluated at 'compile time' and they can only be
simple strings or numerical values.

Restrictive, yes, but there's no easy way around it at the moment.

I would set a META tag like this:

    [% META section = 'section1' %]

and in the PRE_PROCESS header file, do this:

    [% PROCESS "$template.section/config" IF template.section %]
