Hey, Travis here again. Taking a look into the updated CSVDataStore in
geoserver, my general impression is that its design was updated to be more
general and extensible using strategy objects. A few new capabilities
plugged in with it. Otherwise functionality is the same, just an
architecture change. I'll be backporting it to geotools.

So far ran into a few concerns. The CSVDataStore tests in geoserver rely on
some importer utility classes to load a .zip file. To me it seemed like a
better idea to just modify the test to use geotools' test data instead, but
let me know if I should do something else.

Should I append the geotools license to the existing one coming from
geoserver? You can see the code so far here.
<https://github.com/travislbrundage/geotools/commit/309468689c68fb80bcebf0a5c27b02d142f990dd>

Currently the gt-csv module is under unsupported. Where should it be in the
future? (extension? plugin?)

With updating and moving the gt-csv module, will I also need to make some
update for maven to build it properly? (currently builds fine, leaving it
in unsupported)

Tutorial update is still to come.

Cheers,
Travis
