Ah - I didn't know I was being waited for.

The original CSV function CSVToArray() has been floating about the web 
for a long while - I tracked it back to Ben-Nadel:

http://www.bennadel.com/blog/1504-Ask-Ben-Parsing-CSV-Strings-With-Javascript-Exec-Regular-Expression-Command.htm

Although he seems to be making it available, and many people are using 
it, at least officially he reserves copyright on his blog posts.  I 
don't remember where I got it from now, but it wasn't Ben-Nadel's site, 
and I had the impression it was GPL.

So I need to replace the CSVToArray() function.  That's not a problem as 
I can write my own easily enough - or use a provably open source one, 
for example from the d3 project, or this public domain one:
view-source:http://www.unfocusedbrain.com/projects/2008/csvtotiddly/csvtotiddly.html

I did also look at
view-source:http://area23.brightbyte.de/csv2wp.php
In creating my Bugzilla2wiki, but that is GPL so no problem there, 
besides which I didn't actually use the code, just very lightly used 
some styling from it.

The wikify part is mine.
