exclude the transitive dependency
---------------------------------

                 Key: MWAR-166
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR-166
             Project: Maven 2.x War Plugin
          Issue Type: New Feature
    Affects Versions: 2.1
            Reporter: Michael Meng
            Priority: Blocker


Would you please add a flag which will allow user to have a flexibility to 
include/exclude the transitive dependent jars in the WEB-INF/lib folder? 

The <optional>true</optional> defined inthe dependency is working as desired.
if we have a war project which depends on A.jar and A.jar transitively depends 
on B.jar (B.jar is not defined in pom.xml). currently the A.jar and B.jar are 
both included in the lib folder.
If  we define A.jar as <optional>true</optional>, then A.jar is exclude from 
lib folder, but B.jar are included.

What we really want is A.jar to be in lib and B.jar not to be include.

Thanks
