the libcurl tutorial states that "libcurl is completely thread safe, except

description of curl_global_init states: "This function is not thread safe.
You must not call it when any other thread in the program (i.e. a thread
sharing the same memory) is running. This doesn't just mean no other thread
that is using libcurl."
What is right?
libcurl is completely thread safe, except for THREE issues:
- signals
- SSL/TLS handlers
- curl_global_init
We should update the docs to specify this and nothing else!
