The PPTP protocol allows it (I might be wrong!), the Microsoft PPTP client does not.
It's just a minor problem with this otherwise administrativly easy way of tunneling.
Interesting really, considering Microsoft developed PPTP.

If you are going to do this on a large scale, you could use Connection Manager to build the
Profile and add a small batch script to add the route as the tunnel is being created.
