There's something better then using module.

OR,

You can use "related categories"

Its not automated, BUT with CSV improved, you could do it easier
In your case it could be "related products"

As you could see in similar like yours task "How to show all categories a product belong to?"

hack was provided, but next VM update nullified hack effect.

So it's true.

VM Project doesn't support hacks.

It's more safe to use standard options.

Why it's still possible to write hacks, why do you want to use em?

It's not likely that hacks could have stable support.

While CSVI Improved has stable support.
And this solution really could help you.

Do you have some problems with CSVI already?

I understand but with 1000s of products i look more for an automated process...

I assume that you have problems with automated processes in CSV editors (OpenOffice for example).

So you have Excel-like sheet with your product information.

I'm sure it's possible to sort products there by categories.

And I think it's possible to fill cells for related products in that table by using formulas.

All I need to start attacking this issue is a product.csv document (very preferable in English language).
