commit: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=1e7f40ebb5cfc58010faf5e8d751de9207dc6a5d
branch: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

This reverts commit d66cd067f3dc3d5e2479e1e8c05f24fd82329f7a.

SSL certificates are no always installed in /etc/ssl/certs. For example, on
CentOS 5.6 the default OpenSSL certificates directory is /etc/pki/tls/certs,
and wget can download using https without any problem.

Moreover, the existence of /etc/ssl/certs does not guarantee the presence of a
CA certificates bundle even on Debian. On my current Debian testing
installation the openssl package itself creates an empty /etc/ssl/certs
directory.
