It's different because the technology for bringing gettext with a
package's tarball and building it as part of the package build is
known and used by other GNU packages.  By contrast, no GNU package
known to me comes with a replacement for curses (and curses-like
libraries will not work on non-Posix systems anyway, since AFAIK they
rely heavily on Unix-style terminal driver features).
