libcurl has not taken care of this.

I fail to see why this is needed in libcurl's case, as we don't share any SSL
stuff across thread borders.

The OpenSSL example code crypto/threads/mttest.c passes one SSL contect to
all threads, making this necessary, but we never do anything like that with
libcurl.

Of course, this is just what I think it looks like. I am not an OpenSSL guru.

If we need to use this in order to use OpenSSL and libcurl multi-threaded, I
think there's room for discussions around how that should be done...
