 The problem was originally reported in the iPhone app ticket
 http://iphone.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/44

 When setting a category with an apostrophe in it as part of a
 metaWeblog.newPost XML-RPC call that category gets skipped.  The reason
 for this is that the apostrophe gets escaped twice, first at the XML-RPC
 level and second via prepare when generating the SQL query.

 To fix this I've created a patch that calls stripslashes() on the category
 name before passing it to get_cat_ID().
