#150: Two feature requests for the Graphical Query Builder

I don't usually use the builder, but sometimes it is convenient for long
table/column names having queries. I'd like to propose some improvements
to it:
1. Why not join the selected tables if they are related over foreign key?
Usually well designed database uses FK to keep relations in order, so when
you drop a new table to a query builder window there could be checked if
the table can be linked to the already used tables in builder.
2. I think, that tables should be linked using join statement, not the
where clause. That way we could have left, right and inner joins easily.

I think these 2 impovements would make the builder more usable :).
