Summary: curses.initscr - initscr exit w/o env(TERM) set

Initial Comment:
the initscr in ncurses will cause an immeadiation exit
if the env doesn't have the TERM variable set.  Could
the curses.initscr be changed so it tests if TERM is
set and raises an exception?  It would be helpful to be
able to try and except this instead of just having
ncurses exit for you.

How amazingly terrible (on ncurses part).  Do you want to/are you able 
to work on a patch?
