They are already in, and have been for some time. They don't have a
config option, fstype or mountoption as the fat32 support is compleatly
transparent:

Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 1 262 528160+ b Win95 FAT32
/dev/hdc1 1 1 132 532192+ b Win95 FAT32
/dev/hdc5 133 133 264 532192+ b Win95 FAT32
/dev/hdc7 392 392 417 104800+ 6 DOS 16-bit >=32M

/dev/hda1 on /dos/C type vfat (rw)
/dev/hdc1 on /dos/D type vfat (rw)
/dev/hdc5 on /dos/E type vfat (rw)
/dev/hdc7 on /dos/F type vfat (rw)
