hs-curses does not depends on hs-plugins, but riot does.

My idea was actually to ship two binary packages: riot and riot-static, 
the former needing hs-plugins.

Distributing riot as a binary debian package without hs-plugins removes 
its configuration ability which sounds pretty limitating too me.

I am using the riot package as a test to see if hs-curses is working 
well enough to be released. Maybe I should just release a static only 
version of riot and hs-curses altogether?
