Is it possible to pass options to mpost.exe using luamplib?

Question

I would like to use the development version of metapost with luamplib. I've switched over the executable mpost.exe which is presumable called by luamplib somewhere along the line. Now, I would like to pass the option --math=double to mpost.exe so that I can perform calculations on numbers larger than 4096. Is this possible and, if so, then how can it be done? I run Windows 7 and miktex 2.9 if it's relevant.

Edit, the question above is based on a misunderstanding of how this worked, Khaled cleared that up in the first comment below: What I have done so far (thanks Khaled):

1. Downloaded the latest luatex from here
2. Replaced the binary in my miktex folder with the downloaded version (and updated formats and FNDB just in case).
3. Downloaded the mplib source from here and searched through the file mplibapi.pdf.
4. Found reference to mp_math_double_mode on page 7.
5. Looked through luamplib.lua, and inferred that options could be passed in the function

function load()
    local mpx = mplib.new {
        find_file   = finder,
        ini_version = true,
        math_mode = mp_math_double_mode,<--edit here
    }
    mpx:execute(format("input %s ;", currentformat))
    return mpx
end

to which I added the indicated line. Still no luck.

The problem is not with the command above (i.e. one of the commented lines in the code below should work) but rather that MikTex runs an older version of the luatex binary (beta-0.70...) that cannot be updated by simply replacing the binary.

function load()
    local mpx = mplib.new {
        find_file   = finder,
        ini_version = true,
        --math_mode = 1,
        --math_mode = double,
        --math_mode = mp_math_mode_double,
    }
    mpx:execute(format("input %s ;", currentformat))
    return mpx
end
