Using default CA cert

Hello libcurl users,

I read following lines from link : http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html
"libcurl performs peer SSL certificate verification by default. This is done
by
installing a default CA cert bundle on 'make install' (or similar), that CA
bundle package is used by default on operations against SSL servers."

How to install the default CA cert on Windows 2000 machine. I did not
understand the 'make install' thing mentioned above. Let me tell more. I am
using LibCurlNet 1.3.0 for upload using FTPS. And I want to install the
default CA cert which comes with LibCurlNet on Windows machine, so that it
will be used (by default) for further SSL operations. I will update the this
ca cert bundle if the server is using the self-signed certificae. I do not
want to mention the ca certficate file/path in my code (using
CURLOPT_CAINFO). Can anybody guide me in this ?

- Mark
