Bundling the cert was a[read: my] big mistake, and the fact that system certificates aren't at least tried first just amplifies that.

For our own uses this means our deployed packages are never the same as the main git repository(our admins are far more disciplined than me), reducing the amount of testing both receive. It also means we're left with a few small patches on top of the release tarballs that shouldn't exist in a perfect world, so let's aim for that(#67 will solve one already).

Locations:

Gentoo, Debian: `/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt`
