That's unfortunate.  I'll assume for now that on W32 we have to supply
our own certificate bundle through the GNU ELPA package, until someone
comes up with a better solution.  I think that's acceptable since we're
simply mimicking Mozilla's CA choices, and we can make incremental
improvements to gnutls.el as we find out more about each platform.

Thanks!
