ng-grid-csv-export.js

// Todo:
// 1) Make the button prettier
// 2) add a config option for IE users which takes a URL.  That URL should accept a POST request with a
//    JSON encoded object in the payload and return a CSV.  This is necessary because IE doesn't let you
//    download from a data-uri link
//
// Notes:  This has not been adequately tested and is very much a proof of concept at this point
