I'm afraid you can't do that with the existing code.  Here is the 
expression used to parse the options (from 
CMFCore.FSMetadata.CMFConfigParser)::


   class CMFConfigParser(ConfigParser):
       """ This our wrapper around ConfigParser to
       solve a few minor niggles with the code """
       # adding in a space so that names can contain spaces
       OPTCRE = re.compile(
           r'(?P<option>[]\-[ \w_.*,(){}]+)' # stuff found by IvL
           r'[ \t]*(?P<vi>[:=])[ \t]*'       # any number of space/tab,
                                             # followed by separator
                                             # (either : or =), followed
                                             # by any # space/tab
           r'(?P<value>.*)$'                 # everything up to eol
           )

You could monkey-patch this expression from your own code to add 
multi-line support.
