*Now* you tell us.

I have added guarding to the code such that "csv-table" under earlier
versions of Python generate an error-level system message.  The unit
tests for "csv-table" are disabled if the csv.py module is not
present.  I also added a strong warning to the documentation.  I think
that's sufficient.
