As the autocommand does not allow changing the current buffer, an
alternative is to *not* specify MY_SOURCES in your 'path' setting.
Instead specify all the path that is defined in MY_SOURCES in your 'path',
e.g:
set path=.,PATH:[TO.MY.SOURCES],PATH:[TO.MY.HEADERS], and so on
Otherwise define your own user defined command (:he user-commands) that
will do the path mangling.
