Can we get an option to specify the size of the target device?  I've a
4GB stick that I'm using with .hddimg (being the lucky owner of a box
that actually boots them!) and it's sad to see the rootfs being only a
little bigger than the contents when there is about 3.5G of empty disk
space available.
