Note that you can also put "check_certificate = no" in your wgetrc,
although this is discouraged for obvious reasons.

Maybe Wget could be smarter about locating certificate bundles on
Windows.  On Linux Wget uses the default CA bundle set up by OpenSSL, or
by the distributor's packaging of OpenSSL (I forget which).  If Windows
has a concept of a "system" bundle, Wget should make use of it as a
reasonable default.
