From the cpio directory listing the only thing that has "emacs" in its path is the emacs.el mode for perl-4.019. Another check for finding the numerous ".el" and ".elc" files only find few additional ones in perl and cvs directories. Where did you get your "etc.01"? Seems that someone has mixed together "official" and "unofficial" stuff. No such addition has been posted to c.u.b yet.
