Is it possible to set the frequency of a cylindrically mapped image map 
to something other than one?

Ie, currently if I map an image bitmap to a cylinder (map_type 2), I get 
an image wrapped once around the Y axis, as documented.  However, what I 
would like to do is map the texture such that N copies wrap around the Y 
axis.

For example, lets say I have a seamless texture, and a very large 
cylinder close to the camera.  Up close the texture looks grainy, as it 
is only wrapped once about the Y axis, however as it's seamless, and the 
camera is only seeing a small portion of the surface, one could get away 
with increasing the frequency of the texture about the Y axis to 
something greater than one (and scale on the y axis appropriately).

Is this possible?  If so, how?
