CSV parsing/writing utilities, a la Microsoft Excel.

Notes
-----
Differences from Faré's CSV reader:
* this one can import DOS formatted files into a unix image,
and not have the redundant ^M splattered at the end of the fields.
This is important when processing a file on a Unix server which
is being uploaded via HTTP by some poor schmuck on a windoze box.
* Handles empty trailing fields properly
* comes with test suite, to see the semantics I've chosen to implement
* I've included a couple of high-level goodies, like
do-csv-file and map-csv-file, as well as the ability
to control the range of line-numbers on which to apply
your code. Pretty simple stuff, but useful.
* You get a CSV-file writer, for free! :-)
