After rigging it (with the Transfer Utility, which will give the unwanted version) edit the weight maps so that it influenced only by the collar bones, or even use the Joint Editor to give eacha  custom bone that i a child of the collar bone and weight the whole thing to that so that you can then adjust the position as needed (weighting just to the collars would probably be an issue if you wanted it to be possible to raise the arms, though I feel that woudl be realistic for the shape).
