I generated the patch because of the following:

Python 2.2.1 (#10, May  3 2002, 17:45:45)
[GCC 3.0.3] on sunos5
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import regex
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named regex
>>> import re
>>>

Python was compiled from source on a Solaris 8 machine.  Since re is
more modern, I thought I would try to patch Mailman rather than try to
figure out why regex wasn't included in the Python build.
