Apparently the fix that MSYS2 made for openssl in
https://github.com/msys2/MSYS2-packages/pull/3448 is also not present in
Cygwin, so cargo continues to crash after I patched libcurl.
I have the opposite view on crashing vs. leaking memory from openSSL,
but the just uploaded test release has the patch.
Lazka pointed out in
https://github.com/msys2/MSYS2-packages/pull/3448#issuecomment-2907899110
that openssl is using pthread tls destructors to do cleanup when
available, so it may not actually be a leak on Cygwin.
Wow, that links back to [1]: Now I feel old.

Since I still have the "Building DLLs on Cygwin" part of the manual open
in my editor, I guess maybe I should add "Don't try to use Cygwin's
POSIX API inside the DllMain function" to that...
(and more generally, use POSIX mechanisms for initialization/cleanup on
process/thread creation/destruction).
