Beagle indexes files of mimetype text/plain so the common case is covered, 
regardless of filename scheme. XML is different to plain text though, and 
there is no generic XML filter. Presumably the map files have an xml mimetype.

To answer your question, there currently isn't anywhere you can list extra 
mimetypes/extensions to be picked up by the FilterText filter, other than in 
the FilterText constructor itself.
