Cool. That looks pretty recent, then.  Here's what mine prints (from
upstream TL 2013):

$ pdflatex --version

Neither of those files appear in the upstream TL 2013 installation
either.  It appears they used to exist in TL 2009.  I think they were
the metrics for the Zapf Dingbat typeface. The closest I see in TL
2013 is pzdr.tfm and uzdr.tfm.

I'm guessing we no longer need those tfm files. As far as I know,
we're not using Zapf Dingbats in our manual.  (It's possible that we
were using it eons ago; I can't recall now.)
