Personally I prefer pp81 and my80 (the package name is in lower case,
I guess ?) rather than pp and my, but I have no idea about how it 
works with shell scripts (Ed, is this a problem ?).

It seems to me that to check if both pkg are use, one checking is
enough, either in PP_check or kpp_check (e.g., in PP_check, if useKPP ...)
And when you add a 3rd package (e.g., MY) you just have to have
in MY_check: 
if useKPP ... 
and 
if usePP ...

Otherwise, you can put the checking part in 
model/src/config_check.F
but does't seem to me the best place.

Cheers,
