About curl_version*:

If we change the code to only overwrite struct/buffer bytes with the same value, we should make these function thread-safe without having to to implement alternate functions. The only thing that I would recommend is to declare (at least conceptually) the existing functions result as const.

Among the changes to perform is avoiding the use of functions that store a null-terminator after strings (like strcpy, strcat, msnprintf) directly targetting the static buffer.

Ah of course! Yes, that certainly sounds totally reasonable and it should be doable. Thanks!
