Yes, that's how any distribution does it.. by hooking into whatever
the trust database is so
when the application calls SSL_CTX_set_default_verify_paths() it is
used from that point on.

It would be cool that OPENSSL_init_ssl() had a flag to do this lazily
by default whenever is needed but atm that's not the case.
