I modified that list in my .emacs because I always fear of modifying
something directly in Emacs, but that should work too. This list is
huge, BTW ^^.

To do that in Emacs, simply :
(setq auto-mode-alist (append 
      '(("\\.ext1$" . mode-for-ext1)
        ("\\.ext2$" . mode-for-ext2)) auto-mode-alist))

But I'm sure you'll get the same result by editing files.el, with being
((((careful)) (to) '(((parenthesis))))) and "strings" that end anywhere".
