CPM usage conflicts if Boost is already included #353

Description

@mjcaisse

If Boost has been added via CPM via something like:

add_versioned_package(
   NAME Boost
   VERSION 1.88.0
   GITHUB_REPOSITORY "boostorg/boost"
   GIT_TAG "boost-1.88.0"
)

then there is an error:

CMake Error at /path/to/cpm_cache/mp11/bf7aae5c18316ffffb3d7e62dc3f8423b7c968b1/CMakeLists.txt:9 (add_library):
  add_library cannot create target "boost_mp11" because another target with
  the same name already exists.  The existing target is an interface library
