On some distributions, curl is installed in such a way that it cannot find its certification authority bundle without help. The most common way to remedy that issue is to configure an environment variable CURL_CA_BUNDLE that points to the appropriate file, which typically resides in
/etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
or
/etc/ca-bundle.crt
/etc/ca-bundle.crt
The attached patch adds support for that variable.

I'd oppose adding code to fix broken distributions. This should really be fixed in those distributions. And if there was good reason it can't be done then it should be fixed in curl. Do you really want to add this for every program that uses curl?
Well, if you would like your users to run into weird SSL certificate errors that they don't know how to fix, then you're on the right path.
