curl_version_info() returns a filled in struct that among other things
contains 'ssl_version' but that's a "human readable" string with information
about the SSL library in use.

Better then is probably yto call curl_easy_info(handle, CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR,
...) which returns a pointer to a struct that has a member called 'backend'
which contains one if the CURLSSLBACKEND_* numbers from curl/curl.h.

Yeah, its a bit unfortunate and cumbersome. It would be useful to get that
mutex logic provided by libcurl itself - at least when the application is fine
with it.
