Python 2.5 support?

[Wichmann, Mats D]

portions of qmtest (external/DocumentTemplate,
which I gather is imported code) make use of the
regex module, deprecated in Python 2.4 and absent
in 2.5 in favor of re.

Ran into this on Ubuntu Feisty which has 2.5
as the default, and has a qm package; also
seems to still be the case in the svn repo.

Any thoughts towards eliminating the use of
this module to make qmtest cleaner for 2.5?
