My understanding is that these are predefined extra shapes that can be 
included via e.g. \input{dropshape.def}, although the documentation is not 
very clear about that. After all, these files define new commands such as 
\dropshape and \droppar. This, however, only works if the files are found by 
kpsewhich.
