Not directly with eig, because eig calls LAPACK's dgeev function. However, you can call the LAPACK dgeevx function directly in Julia via ccall in order to gain access to the additional options. In the longer run, we should probably modify eig to call dgeevx too, to give a friendlier interface to this and other low-level options, e.g. eig(A, balance=false).
