If your app already initializes the SSL library outside of libcurl and your
app is using the same SSL library as libcurl does, then you can opt to ask
libcurl to _not_ init the SSL library (basically to avoid doing the same thing
twice).

For the majority of all use-cases however, you will include the SSL init flag
in curl_global_init() and just be happy.
