Description

I have noticed that Plexus Archiver 4.2.0 in SNAPSHOT version has grown
methods like `org.codehaus.plexus.archiver.Archiver#setOverrideUid`. It
seems that after it is released it should be possible implement Maven
Assembly Plugin extension that would allow to use these methods to set,
e.g., TAR archive owner/group entries to some reasonable value even on
Windows.

I am attaching unfinished untested patch that I tried to explore the possibility.
