It looks like the m3D package [1], where those files from from, is a little old, and may not be compatible with the current version of mpost. That may be why it's not readily available as part of a current TeXLive. Certainly, when I try (just now) to build this book from the sources, and install m3D locally, the build of torus.mp fails with an error which smells to me strongly of version-skew. If I press on, I see that the source depends on a picins.sty package, which appears [2] to be a LaTeX 2.09 package (ie, _very_ old). I suspect it would be challenging to build the book from its sources, using a half-way recent release of TeXLive. It doesn't look impossible, but it might well involve some non-trivial hacking of the source, which it might be better to encourage the author to embark on. Good luck!
