Specify timeout for New-AzureStorageAccount cmdlet

Is there a way I could specify a timeout value while using the [New-AzureStorageAccount] cmdlet?

While creating a storage account via powershell, I get this error sporadically...

New-AzureStorageAccount : The HTTP request to 'https://management.core.windows.net/XXXX/operations/YYYY' has exceeded the allotted timeout of 00:00:59.9930000. The time allotted to this operation may have been a portion of a longer timeout. At C:\Temp\20130305_150221\somefile.ps1:212 char:36 + New-AzureStorageAccount <<<< + CategoryInfo : CloseError: (:) [New-AzureStorageAccount], TimeoutException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Management.ServiceManagement.StorageServices.NewAzureStorageAccountCommand

Interesting. There currently isn't a way to set a timeout for this command, filed an sisue in the github repository for powershell:: https://github.com/WindowsAzure/azure-sdk-tools/issues/1175

If you're interested in a quick fix, since this is an open source project, you should be able to set the timeout through code and compile your own fix in VS.
