[oe] [oe-core] THISDIR usage

[Giuseppe Condorelli]

No no, myfile.tar.gz was a dummy name I used in this mail tree to
avoid deep explanation. As said in previous mail, I'm trying to build
quilt and I'm in trouble with its tar.gz source put into the directory
the tree shows. I've downloaded it by hand and put under files
directory, then I set FILESEXTRAPATHS inside the bbappend.
