The Introduction to Emacs Lisp and the Emacs Lisp Reference manuals
were made part of the Emacs distribution only in Emacs 22.1.  Until
then, they were maintained as separate distributions in separate
tarballs.  The "goes with GNU Emacs version X" means it describes that
version of Emacs, not that it physically comes with its tarball.
