I would like for us to find a way to do it without configure options.
Compiling in stuff is always weird.
I'm thinking, libpq could really use a global (and, for that matter, a
per-user) configuration file, where you could set defaults for some of
the things that you currently have to use environment variables for,
e.g., sslmode. And then you can configure the system-wide root.crt
location there.
Alternatively, if you think that that is overkill, then using an
environment variable to configure this feature would be consistent with
the existing mechanisms.
