[Csv] confused about wrapping readers and writers

It now works with Python 2.2, which certainly makes this more feasible.
Supporting versions of Python prior to 2.2 is problematic - the type
model is very different, and they don't have iterators (which the C code
uses in some key locations).

Maybe Skip's dictionary stuff would get us closer?

We haven't made any impression on the csv.utils sub-module yet - things
like the sniffer. We want to watch we don't miss the 2.3 boat - what's
the next step?
