No, I was thinking of the GNU/Linux distros. They seem to have their own
collection of "trusted" ca-certs already. So I was wondering whether we
could somehow reuse those easily (for example during installation time).
That way a user has only one set of ca-certs to worry about. Since at
least for Debian it seems every package using ssl uses the same set.
http://packages.debian.org/ca-certificates
And then we wouldn't have to worry which certificates to include and
where they would come from.

Cheers,

Mark
