The only person who should modify the official $VIMRUNTIME/filetype.vim is Bram, who is in charge of maintaining it. If you want to add a new filetype, or to modify how filetypes are detected, _don't_ modify $VIMRUNTIME/filetype.vim because, as I said, sooner or later your changes will be silently undone (any patch /may/ do it, and upgrading to the next version /will/ do it). What you should do is add your changes to $VIM/vimfiles/filetype.vim (all OSes, system-wide), $HOME/vimfiles/filetype.vim (Windows, single-user) or $HOME/.vim/filetype.vim (Unix, Mac, etc., single-user). These files are not touched by updates to Vim.
