Comment (by toofishes):

 I'm not in the copyright file, but I don't really want to claim copyright
 for something as minor as this so feel free to leave me out. If you insist
 you can put Dan McGee in there but I don't see the need.

 This is what I ended up doing for our Arch Linux Pidgin package:

  #endif
     }

 }}}

 So yes, purple_certificate_add_ca_search_path() is the relevant function,
 but I was speaking more about the default path rather than calling an API
 function from who knows where.

 P.S. I like how it wikifies my surname...
