Customizing the manifest.php

So that I donā€™t have to do this manually, I wrote a script that auto generates a new manifest.php file that includes all of my custom files when I am ready to send my custom changes to my production and demo servers.

It appears that if I set the element ā€˜remove_tablesā€™ to false which by default is set to ā€˜promptā€™, the uninstall process fails when trying to go through the Uninstall Custom Fields routines.

Has anyone attempted to modify this particular element?
