The quick answer is that your code isn't going to work. Among other 
things, Wesnoth does NOT do variable interpolation when it reads the 
config file into memory. It does variable interpolation whenever it 
looks at the config objects, and a variable has one definite value...the 
value of a variable is never 'context dependent'.

Basically the pre-processor is currently the only way to do this, and 
the variables model is very very far away from being able to do anything 
like this.
