need "table_exists" function

[Mike Bayer]

getting more than one request for "create if not created", "drop if not dropped" type of functionality. easy enough if the engine has a table_exists() function, which is of course slightly tedious.

i posted an implementation of this in issue 98, though database specific.

really need to get this going, people are starting to habitualize various workarounds for this

this is implemented so far for sqlite, postgres and mysql in the 0.2 branch...will mark closed when oracle is implemented (and maybe ms-sql)
