mkswap for large swap partitions?

Since large swap support is now in the kernel, I'd like to use it. But
I'm unclear on how to properly set up a swap partition. I have tried
both mkswap implementations from Sylvain Pion's web page
(http://www.inria.fr/prisme/personnel/pion/progs/linux/) and neither
seems to be recognized by the kernel.

I suppose a Real Hacker would reverse-engineer the format from the kernel
source and write mkswap.c from that, but I'm a lazy and can't believe
that somebody hasn't done this already.

Any pointers? (Kernel 2.1.124.)

Thanks,
