New submission from Alex Gaynor:

CACert is not in the root trust store on *any* platform that I'm aware of, and 
has not passed any audits. See 
http://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/590879/ce23ed7bab68e489/ for more background.

In it's place I've added StartSSL, which is included in most (all?) root trust 
stores, and offers free certs.
