With a shell which supports process substitution:
Code:
paste -sd, <(sed 's/^/'"'"'/;s/$/'"'"'/' file)

or
Code:
sed 's/^/'"'"'/;s/$/'"'"'/' file|paste -sd, -

or with only sed (will hog some memory though, depending on the file size):
Code:
sed -n 's/.*/'"'"'&'"'"'/;H
${;g;s/^\n//;s/\n/,/g;p;}' file
