Thank you!  My context for pulling the certdata.txt is from within the 
mk-ca-bundle.pl (or .vbs) script from the cURL project, which has no external 
dependencies.  Pulling from an https presents a chicken and egg problem so I'd 
have to use http.  Others seem to use this script as well.

However, I was wary about pulling directly from a source repository versus a 
release, in case of an erroneous commit or something.  Presumably such a thing 
would be caught fairly quick.  Definitely caught by the next aurora or nss 
release.  Whereas, it may not be caught at the precise time someone, somewhere 
in the world runs their copy of mk-ca-bundle.pl script.

Is this a valid line of reasoning?  If not, I'd be happy just pulling from 
http://hg.mozilla.org/projects/nss/raw-file/default/lib/ckfw/builtins/certdata.txt
 and pass that on as a somewhat official preferred source.  :)
