Wheel support

Right now, only the tar.gz file is being distributed on PyPI for PyPDF2, which isn't that much of an issue, but it does add some time to installing the package.

This package should be compatible with the Wheel format, considering it doesn't appear to have any C dependencies and it is compatible with both Python 2 and 3. As a result, you should only need to generate a universal wheel and then everyone (on all systems) will get the ability to install PyPDF2 with just the wheel, without having to do any extra work.

That would be very useful
I'm distributing my software using pynsist.
It allows to import packages on a chosen version only if a .whl is available on pypi.
It would be much more easy to distribute.
Would it be possible to do it and publish future releases with a wheel file ?

Wheel support would be free with a one-line-patch to use setuptools, see #465
