Installing Pyrobuf without c compiler #121

Hi,

somewhat analogue to #113 is it possible to change the install procedure to not require a c compiler?

What happens: Installation fails, due to no c-compiler

What is expected: Installation success, but displays a warning, that compilation is not possible, only usage of pre compiled modules is possible. Maybe a hint if you want to use compilation to install a compiler of your choice.

Scenario: Software written by someone, get's deployed with all needed modules (cythonized, compiled, ...). But can't be installed on second machine due to installation failure of pyrobuf (missing c-compiler). Owner of second machine does not want to / can't download a c-compiler.
