I think additional file paths are outside the scope of the Quilt section 
itself, but it could easily link to a separate section that does discuss it.

It's worth noting though that we tend not to modify FILESPATH directly 
anymore; instead we use FILESEXTRAPATHS. I believe there are examples of using 
this in the BSP guide, although we do still need to have this documented in 
the reference manual.
