GnuTLS on Windows uses the CertEnumCertificatesInStore API to retrieve
all the Root and Certification Authority certificates known to the
system. I suppose at least IE uses the same API, so I wonder how come
GnuTLS fails to validate the certificates, while IE succeeds.
I guess some debugging is in order.
