No, it's ncurses.
address@hidden:/home/tg $ fgrep NCURSES_VERSION /usr/include/ncurses.h 
#define NCURSES_VERSION_MAJOR 5
#define NCURSES_VERSION_MINOR 2
#define NCURSES_VERSION_PATCH 20010224

I've heard it works with a special configure time option
which requires libiconv. Not being able to test that, though.

(Well, I could do _tests_ with that, but I couldn't distribute
 it with my operating system because libiconv is to be installed
 as a third-party application.)
