Ah, I might be rawhiding in my head.  It's in system-config-lvm which is an
FC4/Rawhide package.  You could probably build it from the SRPM with few
problems, but that's yet more fun.

Perhaps try the non-mapper path to the lv since that's what they use in the
example, and it looks like it's parsing that.  So I guess on your system that
would be:

lvextend -L +40G /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /dev/hdb
