Will be merged in the next release. Also, while performing some tests with chopchop I found out an interesting property of the multicast destination address: if you send one of these packets over the air, the AP will re-encrypt it with a new IV (well, that's the behaviour of the Prism2 chipset in Master mode). The only requirement is that at least one station must be connected to the AP.

Any kind of packet will do, it doesn't even have to be an ARP packet or anything specific. This means it's only necessary to wait for a few seconds until one usable packet appears (even when there's very few traffic), and then traffic generation is extremely fast (~100k IVs in 10 minutes), thus you may crack a 104-bit WEP key in less than an hour, and a 40-bit WEP key in less than 15mn.

If anyone having a Prism2 card is interested in beta-testing the new version of aireplay, let me know - I'll send you the source & howto.
