Hi Scott.
Attached you should find my pass at implementing the
mutex-protected global init. Also attached are the necessary
changes for conditional compiling of HTTP filesystem support, and a
minimal pdf-fsys-http.* to allow testing of the conditional
compiling.
It looks fine. I

We already have that requirement in some base-layer modules, like
the text module or time module. The text module has a
pdf_text_context_init() which should be called once at program
startup, preferably when no other threads are running (so that no
other thread actually tries to cal
I just noticed that libcurl requires a call to curl_global_init()
while the program as a whole is single-threaded. The libcurl docs
make this quite clear.
Are we willing to impose this kind of an initialization requirement on
any and all applications that would link with us? The
