Building version 2.2.1 on a Cray T3E, compilation fails
on  _sre.c because it the name of a function (join)
clashes with a declaration in a system header
(unistd.h). Operating system is UNICOS/mk--sorry I
can't find out OS version number right now.

Solution is to rename the join function in _sre.c.
Patch is attached.

MWH: just check it in, if the tests pass.

Umm, don't know why this sat around for so long.

Checked in as revision 2.83 of Modules/_sre.c.
