A long time ago I spoke to an Apple employee about it, and they said it was 
done by a patch in the TLS library. Not in curl itself. That the curl version 
they used back then was virtually untouched by Apple.

The TLS library would be LibreSSL in this case since it works with the curl 
command line tool using that library.

A completely different Apple employee also recently pointed out to me that 
there are several projects already offering access to and use of the native CA 
store, so it is certainly quite possible and not magic. The fact that wolfSSL 
already supports this I think backs up that theory.

Or as I like to say "it's just code". We can add this feature to for example 
the OpenSSL backend.
