Look at things involving the IMPORTED property of add_library. You probably
want to check the headers in to your repo. Or use or create a FindLibXml2.cmake.
Or if you are compiling libxml2 as part of your build process, look at the
ExternalProject module.

I have a project that depends on 3rd party dll's (libxml2).
Is there a 'best practice' to deal with associated files, .h, .lib .dll of
such within a CMake project?
My library needs to link to the 3rd party lib, and needs its dll for
execution (obviously), so I feel the need for copying this DLL to my libs
'install/bin' folder, so that any of my executables can run, without getting
a '...dll not found'.
I wrote cmake macros to generate a batch file containing cmake -e
commands to copy the dlls to each configuration. This I run as a
target in my projects.
