[MITgcm-support] Rapid vote on EXF_OPTIONS.h versus EXF_CPPOPTIONS.h

[Alistair Adcroft]

Sorting out inter-package dependencies *is* worth spending time on because
it's currently a bloody mess:
 x It appears that EXF, CAL and ECCO options are being set in several
different places (including all in ECCO_CPPOPTIONS). E.g.
   USE_EXF_INTERPOLATION  is #ifdef'd only in exf_*.[hF] but only #define'd
in ECCO_CPPOPTIONS.h
 x Most copies of *OPTIONS.h files in code/ are redundant (no different the
one in pkg/ except for missing #includes and stuff
 X The list goes on...

I agree about the impact on users but R2 is the only opportunity to get this
cleaned up.

BTW, CPP_OPTIONS.h is now retired so users already have to deal with this.

I guess, the vote initiator will be responsible
for the cleanup, both in the main and the ecco-branch.

And while he's at it, also change
CAL_CPPOPTIONS
AUTODIFF_CPPOPTIONS
ECCO_CPPOPTIONS

And communicate those changes to the ECCO users
who keep their separate header files.

Aren't there more important things to spend time on?
