[PATCH 1 of 2] GENTARGETS: Allow disabling host package installation

During installation of ncurses, the 'tic' program from the host is used. In
some cases, this version of tic is too old for the data to be processed, and
the installation hangs indefinitely (already reported in July 2010 [1] and
later in April 2011 [2]).

Attached to this bug report are two patches that fix the problem (one patch is
just a prerequisite for the other).
