They're really hard to unit test sensibly, yes. The hard part about using
threads is that we need to detect and use a threading lib that libcurl may not
use by itself.

I guess an alternative approach is to simply use the functions when connecting
to a test server using sockets, as we already have such test servers but
that's still a pretty complicated setup for a unit test.
