In our case we only included the 3rd party dependencies we needed for our internal projects. Then I added some more that were easy to integrate. 

Others such as GDAL, CURL etc that use rather complex build processes have been left out. But I recently discovered the "ExternalProject_Add" function in CMake, which (at least on paper) looks like a way to integrate those as well.
