gst-convert fails with "Invalid index 1: index out of range" when trying
to convert methods have a '*' in their category to squeak. The reason is
that since b44ebba00d36fe7a3d112811f4617f5630ee55f4 escapeRegex is
called on the methodCategory.

As 'escapeRegex' should simply put backslashes in Front of regex
characters, why not use a simple

 String>>escapeRegex [
    ^ '[][?*+\\()^$|]'
       inject: self
       into: [:str :char |
          str
             copyReplaceAll: char asString
             with: '\', char asString].
 ]

instead of the call to "copyFrom:to:replacingAllRegex:with:"? Wouldn't
that solve the problem?
