[PATCH] gnu: gnutls: Configure location of system-wide trust store |

I proposed this change a long time ago, but Andreas objected so I never
pushed it. I've been carrying this patch on my own systems ever since,
but it's getting to be a bit of a drag, because it means no substitutes
for me for an increasingly large amount of software.
Here's the conversation we had last time:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.guix.devel/1538
Any more thoughts on this?
Mark
