Let us know what the file should be on your platform, if you know.  This
is the CA bundle which determines if the signers of any presented
certificates can be trusted.  I think Emacs should have its own default
bundle and the user should be able to override to their own preference.

I'll add code to test for the file's existence and to customize that file.

This error is coming from the GnuTLS library.  It only reports errors
numerically so gnutls.c needs to be improved to present the error better.
