[CMake] Overriding the include path, library path of OpenSSL, Zlib and libcurl

[Michael Ellery]

It doesn’t look like that find module directly supports HINTS or PATHS, so you can try setting CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH and CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH  (https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.7/variable/CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH.html) before calling the curl finder. I think you can add to those variables whatever paths are appropriate to search for CURL on your systems.
