On non-Windows systems, there is often a certificate store that Pidgin
can use.  This includes all of the major Linux distributions.  Pidgin
packages can be configured to use this store, or they can be
configured to use their internal certificates, it is up to the package
creator.

On Windows, we don't use the system store.  I don't know why not, I
assume it's painful, probably because of poor OS design and
implementation.
