Yes, Windows is a pain :)

Doxygen is no requirement. It just checks for it's presence.

_ZLIB_DIR should be the root directory where it can find the lib and include 
directory. Something like.

zlib\include\zlib.h
zlib\lib\z.dll

The same for openssl. CMake creates two files, CMakeOutput.log and 
CMakeError.log where it normally reports what's wrong in detail.
