Don't know about USE_EXF_INTERPOLATION,
but all EXF, CAL, COST, CTRL, AUTODIFF, ECCO related CPP options
currently should ONLY go into one single header file,
ECCO_CPPOPTIONS
(see e.g. verification/global_with_exf/ in the main branch).

It is true that all other OPTIONS files EXF_... CAL_...
are currently redundant.
We can discuss the reasons for this when you're around,
rather than filling mail boxes.
