I don't know enough Windows to tell. Do they share any memory? If so, then
once is enough. If they use their own separate memory and process space, then
each should call curl_global_init() on their own.

However, in most cases libcurl figures it out by itself even if you just call
curl_easy_perform() without using curl_global_init() - but then you'll get the
default global options set of course.
