When I try to import curses, it returns the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python31\Lib\curses\__init__.py", line 15, in <module>
    from _curses import *
ImportError: No module named _curses

I tried with several versions of Python and Windows and I got the same
error on all, so I think it's normal.
The documentation is not clear about that though, so it should be added
a paragraph that explain why it doesn't work and if/how it's possible to
make it work.

Added "Platform: Unix" to curses docs in r75612.
