I am not sure the direction of your requirement, but I believe the current
logic with configurable limits would work for both:

* Positive: if you WANT a new cluster for each key frame, irregardless of
  the size/duration/age/whatever of the current cluster, -min_cluster_size 0
  (instead of 4k) should do that.

* Negative: if you WANT NO new cluster except at key frames, then
  -max_cluster_size \infty -max_cluster_duration \infty (instead of 5M/5000,
  or 32k/1000 for streams) should do that.

  (lavf does not have \infty, but INT64_MAX should do the trick unless you
  intend to produce a eight etaoctets file longer than the history of
  mankind.)

And of course, if you want both, you set all these options like that.

Am I missing something?
