Instead of disabling hemlock altogether, why not have it issue an error if it can't find any TERMCAP? Besides, you can retrieve the termcap information from current terminal with infocmp(1), so the termcap data is just a (run-program "infocmp" (list (getenv "TERM"))
This I did not know. I'm hacking a working hemlock up...
I would recommend making several attempts at getting the TERMCAP, starting with $TERMCAP, then $(infocmp -C), then /etc/termcap. Also, infocmp already uses $TERM by default so no need to pass it as an argument. If I read the manual correctly, you need option -C.
