How to install custom DB tables in 5.7

Permalink
I have a db.xml file in \application\config with some tables setup in the usual C5 format, e.g.:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<schema version="0.3">
   <table name="ieUsers">
      <field name="IEuID" type="I" size="10">
        <key/>
         <autoincrement/>
         <unsigned/>
      </field>
      <field name="IEc5uID" type="I" size="10">
         <unsigned/>
      </field>
      <field name="IEuFirstName" type="C" size="255">
         <notnull/>
      </field>
      <field name="IEuLastName" type="C" size="255">

How do I install these? Pre 5.7 you'd go to dashboard -> Sitewide Settings -> debug -> refresh custom database tables.

I would personally stick it in a package, that is easier,

This is true, but surely there's a way to do it without putting it into a package.

It's for a fairly big long-term personal project and I wasn't planning on packaging it up.
