-EP       preprocess to stdout, omitting #line directives

-P        preprocess to file, omitting #line directives

-preprocess-only
          same as -P
-fpp[n], -[no]fpp
           run Fortran preprocessor on source files prior to compilation
             n=0     disable running the preprocessor, equivalent to nofpp
             n=1,2,3 run preprocessor

-cpp[n]   same as -fpp[n]


As most of us use the same pre-processing options for ifort and gfortran,
we don't notice that others also exist.
