The client side API in OpenSSL is use this directory and this file for the 
default root certificate collection.

The file is a collection of certs cat-ed together.  It gets read in at when 
the API is called.

The directory is a collection of hashed names that link over to another 
directory of cert files.  There is a utility that sets up the hash links.

Details in SSL_CTX_set_default_verify_paths

I'm pretty sure you can set things up so you can add your certificates in 
there.  I don't have the details. but it feels like a simple HOWTO would cover 
it once somebody figures out how to do it.
