Because they don't. Simple.

And I don't like the idea of forcing into system gettext and libiconv, as they 
aren't needed for *all* the software out there, you can still have many 
packages without using them. I really needed to install them just for glib2 
initially, and I was having already a few packages installed for example 
subversion.

And I'm in ideas of "the least, the better" wrt dependencies.
