Without this run-time dependency the terminfo database might not
be installed at all and screen would bail out immediately, e.g.

  $ screen
  Cannot find terminfo entry for 'vt102'.

Since screen is not a niche application extraordinaire I am wondering if I am
doing something else wrong but AFAICT it's really that simple...
I am working with scarthgap ATM but if need be I can forward-port it too.
