Since this is a native Windows Emacs, no such path exists.

In a separate reply, Sivaram suggested the setting:

 (setq gnutls-trustfiles '("c:/cygwin/usr/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.trust.crt"
                           "c:/cygwin/usr/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt"))

This works (thank you Sivaram), but of course it works because it
depends on having Cygwin installed.  That's not a problem for me,
since I have Cygwin installed anyway, but I think there must be part
of the puzzle missing if one is using only native Emacs and gnutls.
