 * Key changes were made by Ryan Bayne yesterday in the area of reading CSV files.
 * Users are now encouraged to ALWAYS select their files separator, quote and even
   enter the number of fields/columns in their file. This is far more reliable.
 * The interface and functions have been changed to reflect this. It is a different
   direction in the area of reading and handling CSV files. The interface looks 
   good I think and Ryan told me he had total success testing a tab separated file
   with single quotes. That file would not work properly using PEAR CSV prior to
   the changes.
 * PEAR CSV is used in other CSV import plugins for WordPress however it should 
   not be relied on. After a week of extensive testing, fget approach and counting
   the number of separators plus quotes in the header row is far more effective.
