There's one thing about libcurl I always found annoying: You
have to call curl_global_init() before using the library and
curl_global_cleanup() afterwards. Both functions should be called
exactly once, so you can't do that in libmb3 (in case the application
or some other client library uses libcurl, too).

The only choice you have is to ask the user to call those functions
himself. Because of this, curl can't be a drop-in replacement for neon.
