Hello PostgreSQL developers,

I received a request to support system-wide root certificates in
libpq. Right now it only looks in ~/.postgresql/root.crt, but since
such certificates are usually set up system wide and be maintained by
the sysadmins, it would be very convenient if there was a fallback
lookup in /etc/postgresql/ or similar.

Would you accept a patch which adds a configure option for the path of
a system wide root certificate?

Thank you,

Martin
