Hi David,

Neil is right, you can place any arbitrary header in the Manifest in
order to provide the information you need. However, maybe some of the
information you intend are already provided by someone or you're
intended header is already at use by some other vendor. As a starting
point, I would suggest to take a short peek at the following list of
headers already in use:

Cheers,
Mirko
