- Change the behavior of win32_init so that the required initialization procedures are not affected by CURL_GLOBAL_WIN32 flag. libcurl via curl_global_init supports initializing for win32 with an optional flag CURL_GLOBAL_WIN32, which if omitted was meant to stop Winsock initialization. It did so internally by skipping win32_init() when that flag was set. Since then win32_init() has been expanded to include required initialization routines that are separate from Winsock and therefore must be called in all cases. This commit fixes it so that CURL_GLOBAL_WIN32 only controls the optional win32 initialization (which is Winsock initialization, according to our doc). The only users affected by this change are those that don't pass CURL_GLOBAL_WIN32 to curl_global_init. For them this commit removes the risk of a potential crash.
