Ah, right.
Windows users who don't initiate winsock for curl must set CURL_GLOBAL_WIN32
or they'll face all sorts of problems due to that. CURL_GLOBAL_ALL does that.
Using only CURL_GLOBAL_SSL requires the winsock stuff to be taken care of by
the app itself.
For non-windows platforms, there's no difference between these two (at this
point).
