I've trouble to understand you right! Are you missing the feature
"#include usertag/*"? Wrong or right?
If you look in you minivend.cfg once more. You will find this..

## UserTag                      Default: none
#
# Custom tag for every catalog served by this MiniVend.
#
# UserTag

# [loc locale*] message [/loc]
#
and so on and after this, you can see the rest. Regarding your message
about "#include was supported..". This is right. But this should
probably not be right for the usertag. I've not look into the both codes
of MV4 and MV3. But why is M.H. writing 

## UserTag                      Default: none
#
# Custom tag for every catalog served by this MiniVend.
#
# UserTag

instead of 

#include usertag/*

? 
Maybe MV3 was not ready or fit to include the usertag? Maybe the usertag
need a special handle than other include directives? I think so.
