Non-Windows
On Mac OS X
-----------
On OS X, the library makes use of CommonCrypto and SecureTransport for
cryptographic support. These are thread-safe and you do not need to do
anything special.
Note that libssh2 may still use OpenSSL itself. In that case, the
general case still affects you if you use ssh.
General Case
------------
On the rest of the platforms, libgit2 uses OpenSSL to be able to use
