how to compile in a terminfo entry

I want to be able to fallback on a vt100 terminfo entry, in case the
terminfo database is not present. How do I compile into my program such an
object?

To start my program I default the terminal type to vt100 like this:

#define DEFAULT_TERM "vt100"
#define TERM_ENV_VAR "TERM"

/* get TERM environment var or set default */

        if ((name = getenv (TERM_ENV_VAR)) == NULL)
                name = DEFAULT_TERM;

/* start ncurses on stdio terminal */

        if (newterm (name, stdout, stdin) == NULL)
                return (ERR);

What I want to do is to fall back to a vt100 terminfo entry that has been
included in this program, if newterm() returns a error.
