All I see in the 7.1 source is:

        for n in args:
            (str, arg) = n
            if str == '--size':
                size = int(arg)
            elif str == '--maxsize':
                maxSize = int(arg)
            elif str == '--grow':
                grow = 1
            elif str == '--onpart' or str == '--usepart':
                onPart = arg
            elif str == '--ondisk':
                device = arg
            elif str == '--bytes-per-inode':
                fsopts = ['-i', arg]
            elif str == '--onprimary':
                partNum = int(arg)
            elif str == '--type':
                type = int(arg)
            elif str == "--active":
                active = 1
            elif str == "--asprimary":
                primOnly = 1
            elif str == "--noformat":
                format = 0

If you know a bit of Python, it doesn't look too terribly difficult to hack
up an option for it.
