Have a look at hunter <https://github.com/ruslo/hunter/> – 
Cross-platform package manager for C++ (based on CMake ExternalProject).

Hunter has CMake versions for:

  * libpng <https://github.com/ruslo/hunter/wiki/pkg.png>
  * libssh2 <https://github.com/ruslo/hunter/wiki/pkg.libssh2>
  * zlib <https://github.com/ruslo/hunter/wiki/pkg.zlib>

Curl <https://github.com/bagder/curl> has CMake support by itself. The 
only library missing is libiconv. It seems that
LuaDist project has added  a CMake build here 
<https://github.com/LuaDist/libiconv>.

You could either take all the libraries and include in your project or 
open hunter tickets. <https://github.com/ruslo/hunter/issues>

Cheers,
Cristian.
