Hm.  executable.el comes with Emacs 20 and 21.  Maybe there's a
package for XEmacs?

I don't really grok the XEmacs package system, but maybe there's some
way to search individual files in a package ...

Well, if it's already installed then it's easy to figure out which
package it came from:

$ locate executable.el
/usr/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/sh-script/executable.elc
/usr/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/sh-script/executable.el
/usr/share/emacs/21.2/lisp/progmodes/executable.elc
/usr/share/emacs/21.2/lisp/progmodes/executable.el

But of course that wouldn't have worked for you.
