 Please test attachment:tokenise.diff

 An external library may be worth using for improved fault-tolerance (CSV
 is a rather loose "standard", to say the least). But any such dependency
 should be
 a. on specific modules (e.g. v.in.ascii), not lib/gis (i.e. G_tokenize),
 and
 b. an optional alternative to G_tokenize(), i.e. modules should still
 compile and work if the library isn't available.

 Python is far too heavyweight a dependency for such a task.
