Depending on the application this may or may not be possible. I've noticed 
lately that frameworks (Eclipse/OSGi Bundles are one example that springs 
to mind) are using the manifest to store additional metadata about the 
archive, so I can definitely see the need for a more generalized way of 
getting entries into the manifest.
