Add Eclipse-BuddyPolicy to IBM OSGi Client Libraries

Problem Description:

In the MANIFEST.MF (from com.ibm.mq.osgi.allclient Bundle) the entry "Eclipse BuddyPolicy: registered" is missing.
Can this entry be added to the MANIFEST.MF in a new version of the libraries?

The following is the description of the problem:
We ship serialized Java objects through MQ. In our OSGi rsp. Eclipse RCP application the IBM MQ Library (...allclient) does not find our TO (Transfer Objects) Java Objects because the
bundles have different ClassLoader and the MQ Library of course cannot have any dependency to our bundle.

In an Eclipse RCP application, you can solve the problem with the Buddy Policy as follows.
In the com.ibm.mq.osgi.allclient bundle, the entry "Eclipse-BuddyPolicy: registered" must be added to this in the MANIFEST.MF.

In our bundle, which contains the TOs, we can add the entry {{eclipse RegisterBuddy: com.ibm.mq.osgi.allclient}} in the MANIFEST.MF. This means that the ClassLoader of the com.ibm.mq.osgi.allclient Bundles will find the TO classes in our bundle and can instantiate new objects.
