[vlc-devel] SYSCONFDIR optional when looking for root certs ?

Hello,

TLS root certificates are curently read from:
$SYSCONFDIR/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

This can't work with prefixed installs, unless someone thought about 
recreating a CA directory with the right certificates.

I would suggest a small change:
Look into the prefixed dir and if $SYSCONFDIR/etc/ doesn't exists, then 
fallback and change lookup prefix to '/' and fetch system's ones.

Cons ?

Francois
