Developing my first plasmoid
Learn by example
Existing plasmoids can be found in the following places:

When using OpenSSL
You have to remove the FindOpenSSL cmake module supplied by KDE libs which is superseded now by the Cmake provided one. The KDE one does not link against the crypto lib.
Adding custom SVG content to your plasmoid
Normally, relative paths are used to point to items from the current desktop theme. When you have custom content that's not part of any theme yet, you can supply it with your plasmoid by installing it in the default desktop theme.
In Cmake language this translates to:
install(FILES "analog_telemeter.svgz" DESTINATION ${DATA_INSTALL_DIR}/desktoptheme/default/widgets/ )
I discovered this by looking at the cmake files of desktop themes. Desktop themes are found in KDE/kdeartwork/desktopthemes , except for oxygen, which can be found at KDE/kdebase/runtime/desktoptheme/oxygen. DATA_INSTALL_DIR translates for example to /usr/share/kde4/apps.
A desktop theme can support your plasmoid by supplying a file with the same name. If it is not found, there is a fallback to the default theme.
Adding configuration
KConfig..
