Code for this existed in the pre-coffescript version (eg v0.97.0rc7 jqtouch.js line 497).
Code to handle this does not exist in the coffeescript version [start() doesn't touch the animations array, and getAnimation() simply iterates through this array], so without modifying the jqt source the only change you can make to animations is changing the default selector.
The documentation at https://github.com/senchalabs/jQTouch/wiki/Initialization%20Options talks about the animation selectors.
