Does it really need to be dynamic at all?  I don't think the list of
libraries installed by ncurses varies all that much (apart from WIDEC
on/off), and nor is it overwhelmingly large.  It doesn't seem like it
would be all that hard to arrange for the right stuff to be added to
PACKAGES at parse time, in which case this whole problem would just go
away.
