Don't suppress display of constant-value columns

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When outputting a report, some writers (e.g., XLS, TWiki) will suppress display 
of columns whose value does not change, and some of them (e.g., CSV) don't.  
This is bad for two reasons:

1) When outputting a report in multiple formats, they will be inconsistent in 
terms of which columns are displayed.

2) Data the user is expecting to appear in the table doesn't appear, and 
there's no explanation as to why.

Please include all columns in all report formats.

Attached find a minimal example reproducing the problem.  The column "bar" is 
missing from the output from some of the reports but not others.

This is a feature, not a bug ;) Actually, in the code is was already possible 
to turn this "compact" mode off, but there was no setter. This has now been 
added. Use setCompact() to change between the modes.

Well, I suppose this can be resolved then.
