Perhaps this is something the current build scripts take care of anyway. Is it possible to reuse ?

Would any of the C++11 compliant CSV parsing libraries make the cut in your analysis ?

Vince CSV parser (RFC4180 + flavours)
https://github.com/vincentlaucsb/csv-parser

C++11 header only (MT can be turned on/off).
https://github.com/ben-strasser/fast-cpp-csv-parser

If not, Is there is something else that is needed for the CSV parsers to qualify ?

Thanks for sharing your perspective. Much appreciated !
