/etc/ssl/certs/ instead of curl-ca-bundle.crt by default

Hi,

I occasionally get requests to change the openSUSE libcurl package to
use openssl's /etc/ssl/certs/ instead of curl's own curl-ca-bundle.crt
by default (the win would be in having one certificate selection less in
the system).

Are there any side-effects to think about when changing it? One possible
side-effect is that setting CURLOPT_CAINFO from within an application
won't unset the now default CURLOPT_CAPATH. Dunno how much it than an
issue. Anything else? Is it a good / bad idea?

thanks,
Michal
