Would it make sense to serialize the network accesses if libcurl tells
us that it is using the OpenSSL backend (at runtime)? That way, we
wouldn't need to use any OpenSSL interface from KiCad, so we get rid of
the dependency completely.

This would mean that accesses are slow if you use curl+openssl, but that
is essentially user choice, because distros are not supposed to ship
this combination anyway.

I'd also love to drop OpenSSL from the Windows builds, because Jenkins
spends quite some time on keeping that current.
