I would think that purl doesn't have to set CAINFO at all by default. All
libcurl builds (execept for Windows) ones will have decent defaults built-in.

Don't do anything!

libcurl does, yes. The curl command tool has some additional fancy stuff to
check for and set the CAINFO to work better in for example Windows
environments where there's no such thing as a default path to a CA certificate
bundle.
