Summary: Update of ca-bundle

Initial Comment:
I'm not sure why exactly the ca-bundle shipped with curl is from the year 2000, instead various resources are invested at the web site in order to explain how to get the ca-bundle updated. Would it be possible to ship this one instead with the default download?

http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem

This file is about double the size compared to the one with the curl archive, meaning that most users of curl will have to update the ca-bundle in order to play nice. This is perhaps an unneeded step and confusing for many others which rely on shared hosting with no access to the relevant files.
