Summary0000147: Support for varying CSV formats
DescriptionExcel doesn't seem to always be consistent about the CSV separator it uses. Sometimes it's the RFC 4180 comma, but sometimes it's the semicolon common in Germany. This behaviour might be dependant on the OS and its settings.
Steps To ReproduceCraft a CSV file with commas as separators (or a file with a double line break at the end). The app will crash late with a DebitDataException.
Additional InformationRFC 4180 support of MG is unclear; need to keep out format the same.

The "fix" for this is actually just a workaround that appears to solve the issue on the Mac. Windows testing is needed. Also, the underlying issue(s) with the CVS library remain. A complete rewrite of the CVS parsing code may prove necessary in the long run.
