Description

As described in the StackOverflow question at http://stackoverflow.com/q/25098307/274350 maven-archiver should allow the user to remove the default manifest entries, such as "Built-By:"

Currently it is possible to set an empty value for these default entries, but not to remove them from the manifest.
