Summary:                    SSL support on OS X not working
Description: 
It seems that CMAKE_USE_OPENSSL is not enabled in the Homebrew and Macports
builds of cmake. Thus, the cmake that most Mac-based devs use is going to fail
mysteriously (producing a 0-byte file) for URL downloads that use https. 

While one could go the route of getting Homebrew, Macports, etc to change their
build configs, there's also the issue that openssl is deprecated on OS X anyway,
so perhaps OS X builds should default to using Apple's libcurl, which links
against the Apple-blessed replacement to openssl.

Steps to Reproduce: 
Use URL in ExternalProject_add with an https:// url.
