Run post install task executing _build_tables
* Add post install task executing _build_tables in install destination
* Use distutils execute for building tables to respect dry_run flag
* Use setuptools if available, fall back to distutils if not
* Name the overriden class install to get the right help text
* Also run _build_tables when creating a source distribution
* No more need to run _build_tables.py manually
