I thought that was already fixed.

The proper fix is to make sure that only a single thread uses CURL. Then
we can drop the OpenSSL dependency ourselves, as we only initialize some
locking functions.

Most people link against curl-gnutls anyway, or use SChannel on Windows.
The difficulty is that curl will not tell you what implementation it
uses until a connection is open.
