It does!

You didn't find them because you didn't create them. Those files must  
be created form the origonal ones. For example:

Copy the original backends.php to backends.local.php and edit  
backends.local.php.
Copy the original prefs.php to prefs.local.php and edit  
prefs.local.php. And so on.

The problem of editing original *.php files is that they may be  
overwritten on upgrade and you may loose your modifications.
Don't forget to set permission to those files.

You can find this information on INSTALL documentation and at the  
begining of those php files.
