you should have a look how libevhtp searches for libevent. If it does a bunch of find_library()/find_path() calls, those set cmake cacge variables, but only if they are not set yet. So if you know where libevent will put its stuff, you can preset those cmake cache variables (e.g. using cmake -D ...)
