This makes it impossible to do a true PCRE regexp search with ag-project-regexp.

It looks to have started when ag/read-from-minibuffer was introduced.

These commits should fix this, while still escaping the default if no user-input regexp is provided.

Argh, thanks for spotting this. You can see I use the regexp commands far less!

I don't think we should be escaping regexps at all in ag/read-from-minibuffer, so I've amended your commit and merged that in e5613b1. Thanks :)

Let me know if I've missed anything.
