Using dynamic domain mapping in Windows Azure

I have SaaS web-site that allows users create online landing pages and need to be able to give them option to use own domains. I've read a lot here about using custom domain on Windows Azure, but it all says that I need to go to Preview portal and manually add domain in configuration after I set up CNAME for the domain. Right now my Azure address is like

my-site.azurewebsites.net

and looks like www.my-site.com having CNAME record my-site.azurewebsites.net only gets 404 page. I've found here answer that I need manually add www.my-site.com to domain list in Azure preview portal. But what if I need for domains www.my-site1.com...www.my-siteN.com to be added with changed CNAME record dynamically? It is impossible to manually add record for every domain. Is it possible to omit manual domain addition to Azure portal and have clients use their domains changing only CNAME and my code on Azure would analyze host and provides appropriate content?

Windows Azure truly does need to know the new CNAME. Otherwise it wouldn't know to route the traffic to your app.

The remaining question is whether or not it can be automated. I can't find the documentation for the management API for Web Sites, so I can't see whether or not this can be done programmatically. The command-line tools do not expose a method to do this.
