I don't see how it makes any functional difference if the app makes that
search or if libcurl does it.

Supporting more than one file is an interesting idea. This current single file
restriction (except for OpenSSL which can have a directory of certs) is
primarily because how the TLS libraries' APIs for doing certificate
loading/verification. It could certainly be changed to support multiple files,
but it would not be an inisignificant amount of work...
