The app can potentially take a significant amount of importing from  
the user during the first run.  So that could be thousands of records.

Afaik, FasterCSV bombs out when a document has bad formatting on a  
single line.  I would need to read each line of the csv file, import  
the good lines and kick the bad lines back to the user in a csv file  
for them to fix then re-upload (with some type of intelligible error  
message).  If there is a smarter way to handle this I'm open.  I  
think Campaign Monitor does something similar to this, and seems  
pretty smooth but they are really only dealing with an email address  
and name.
