A few people have. I suggest you follow this question to the regular curl
mailing list, the (new) libcurl mailing list is for the development of the
new libcurl API. I have tried to get some people to once-and-for-all write
a README/document about multi-threading and libcurl but so far I've
received nothing. This is not a complaint, just a fact.

libcurl in itself doesn't prevent multi-threading, allthough system calls
it uses may not be threadsafe. Like gethostbyname() etc.

Well, maybe this time we'll get some text written about it! ;-)
