A while ago there was some discussion about whether libcurl should
make more general use of the platform's mutexes (thread-locking) and
init-onces - being configured at compile time, or be like OpenSSL
taking callbacks which say how to lock things so that it can work with
different thread libraries without recompilation, or carefully
avoiding need any of those.

If it could rely on thread primitives, then it would become safer to
call curl_global_init() from libraries, or even not call
curl_global_init() at all when default options are used.

Just wondering if that is relevant to the present discussion?
