No, 'files' should be avoided. When we start rearranging the directory
structure every file in 'files' will need to get checked to see to which
recipe it applies. If a patch or file is for multiple versions of recipe
foobar, place it in 'foobar/'.
Pretty much the only valid use of 'files/' is when one file is shared
between multiple different recipes (foobar_1.bb, qux_5.bb, etc), like
the gtk-doc.m4 for gnome stuff.

Koen
