Summary: rexec:make_re() should not use pre?

Initial Comment:
The rexec module contains a mysterious make_re()
function that seems to hard-code the 're' module as
using 'pre'.  Why is this?  Why can't the standard
'sre' module be used, and why does this module have to
be pre-initialized?

This is no longer needed (appearantly something magic was
needed earlier, and this may not have been the best
solution).  It is not needed any more, so I've removed it in
revision 1.31.
