5.4 Does libcurl do Winsock initing on win32 systems?
No.
On win32 systems, you need to init the winsock stuff manually, libcurl will
not do that for you. WSAStartup() and WSACleanup() should be used
accordingly. The reason for this is of course that a single application may
use several different libraries and parts, and there's no reason for every
single library to do this.
