2 issues for DataFrame.to_csv

1 ) If header and index are True, you should write something for an index header, even if index_level is None.
2) If given a MultiIndex, don't want to just call str() on each element.

Also fixed read_csv to take an iterable for index_col so that I could write tests.

I haven't looked at the similar methods in Series or the other to_* methods yet. This is all I needed at the moment.

Aside: it looks like in test_frame setUp isn't a classmethod and is called for each test method. Not a big deal, but might be a little heavy in the test suite.

thanks a lot for doing this. after hemming/hawing i think it makes sense to have a default index header column. rebased into master

I think it would be a good idea to make it so a regular Index can have a name attribute. Will create a separate github issue
