Personally I would say the major shortcoming is in the script because
the SSL Cert page of the documentation
http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html states that, "libcurl performs
peer SSL certificate verification by default. This is done by using
CA cert bundle". So if the script doesn't find any CA cert bundles
then it should configure cURL to use the default, which is
/usr/local/share/curlcurl-ca-bundle.crt. Then when the incumbent gets
to the SSL Cert page they will discover their omission and then they
can just populate the directory with an appropriate bundle without
having to go back to the configure.

I would also say there is a minor shortcoming in the documentation,
maybe on the SSL Cert page, where no mention is made of the default
file and location.
