On Windows (and *nix distributions that do not build using
--with-system-ssl-certs or do not offer a certificate directory), Pidgin
uses a limited set of CA certificates shipped with the program, which does
not currently include a Comodo root.

Could you point out which specific root CA you use (key fingerprint
ideally, some other uniquely identifying characteristic also works) so that
we can add it to Pidgin?
