Good thing to fix.  Thanks.

Having to repeat the same string constant twice (and a half for the variable name) each is an eyesore. I wonder if we can do better, perhaps with:

#define LABEL(string) (s->no_gettext ? (string) : _(string))
and then
	color_fprintf(s->fp, header_color, LABEL(N_("gone")));
or something along those lines?
