For the record, kernel32.dll.so and wineconsole.exe.so (in libwine)
dlopen libncurses.so.5.  The name of the library to dlopen is deduced at
build time and will probably change to libncursesw.so.6 in the future.

The wine32-development package has the same problem as wine32, so I'm
cloning a copy of this bug for it.
