is add a reference to this DLL to the solution via cmake using a
Findlog4net.cmake file with a given version number but haven't figured
out how to integrate this since its a dll only.

I recently submitted a patch for CMake to allow linking against .NET
DLLs. The code to support this should be in 2.8.7. The way to accomplish
the .NET linking is:

set_target_properties(your_target VS_DOTNET_REFERENCES
"System;Log4Net.Logger")

or whatever the necessary namespaces are. You will of course need the
relevant DLLs in the system search path at build and run time.

Hope that helps.
