QCA is extremely flexible with regards to the root certificates.  Even QCA v1 was \
this way (and indeed, you could add certs into Psi 0.10 and all prior releases based \
on QCA v1, dating back to 2003).

With QCA v2, there is additionally a notion of "system" root certificates, which \
gives you easy access to the root certificate storage of your operating system.  If \
your OS does not support its own root certificates, then QCA bundles a copy of the \
Mozilla roots for the occasion (this is what you found in the qca/certs/ dir in SVN). \
It is also possible to add alternative system certificate storage support via \
plugins.  Please note that using the system roots requires a voluntary call to \
QCA::systemStore().  You are totally in control of what certs count as root certs, \
and you can even read from your own files and build your own list at runtime, etc, \
just like with QCA v1.

So yeah, Kopete could do this.  It just doesn't.

I had to write this because the comments on this bug were horrifying. :)
