manifest: android:allowBackup = "true" causes some trouble.

Hi.
I have been using your very cool library, and it has been doing great, but lately, for security reasons, I needed to turn auto backup off from the manifest.
Unfortunately, when changing to android:allowBackup="false" I get the following error:

Manifest merger failed : Attribute application@allowBackup value=(false) from AndroidManifest.xml:78:9-36
is also present at [com.bcgdv.asia.lib:connectpattern:0.3] AndroidManifest.xml:12:9-35 value=(true).
Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:allowBackup"' to element at AndroidManifest.xml:76:5-353:19 to override.

Is it possible to remove the allowBackup flag from the manifest of the library?

Note: actually, tools:replace="android:allowBackup" in the application block solves the issue, but it's less pretty.

Thanks
