Comment:

 Without your patch:
    If --with--system-ssl-cets is defined, '''BOTH''' that directory and
 /usr/share/purple-2/ca-certs (or whatever.  I was mistaken earlier, it's
 not a user-specific thing) are included as locations for trusted root
 certs.
   If --with-system-ssl-certs is not used, only the libpurple one is used.

 With your patch:
   If --with-system-ssl-certs is defined, only that directory is used.
   If it's not defined, the only libpurple's set of trusted roots are used.

 The current behavior is intentional, and IMHO, correct.  If you want me to
 change it, please convince me why it should be changed.
