[xmlsec] Trusted Root Cert source?

  How does one go about getting a list of "standard" trusted root certs
(e.g., Verisign, Thawte, Entrust, etc.) that can be used to validate a
public key certificate included with a signed document? Obviously there
is an issue of who do you trust here -- but assuming for these purposes
you trust all the CA's listed above (and probably other commercial CAs),
what is the standard way of obtaining the CA certs and then
building/loading the list of trusted root certs that are acceptible for
x509 cert verification? Is there a standard repository of such certs or
do I have to go to each CA in turn and get their current root cert for
inclusion?
Thanks!
