Subject: [bug#38873] [PATCH] gnu: curl: Make libcurl respect SSL_CERT_{DIR,FILE}

From: Jakub Kądziołka <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 2 Jan 2020 18:18:26 +0100

* gnu/packages/curl.scm (curl-7.66.0): Use patch.
* gnu/packages/patches/libcurl-use-ssl-cert-env.patch: New file.

This fixes the SSL errors occuring when trying to use rust:cargo's
download functionality.

As an additional advantage, this will probably allow removing some
package-specific work-arounds that have already been made. I have
found such work-arounds in cmake and kodi, but am not familiar enough
with either to confidently remove them.
