Libguestfs - Jan 2014 - mke2fs fails due to wipefs --force

My wipefs has no --force option, as a result mke2fs command in guestfish fails.

Looks like 72dd398679cd0bb803daf306d12558369615ba70 needs an adjustment
to make use of do_wipefs?
Also str_wipefs is not used in that file.

Also daemon/zero.c has a wipefs_has_force_option function.  It seems
like it would be better if this function was also used in
wipe_device_before_mkfs (in the same file).

But yes, it's definitely a bug if wipefs is causing mke2fs to fail.

How about the attached patch (only compile-tested)?
