I don't think this works. Only the LAST criterium will be checked, since
we have in the run_lapw script:

  case -cc:
    shift; set ccut = $1; set fcut = 0; set ecut=0; sb
  case -ec:
    shift; set ecut = $1; set fcut = 0; set ccut=0; sb
  case -fc:
    shift; set f_not_conv; set fcut = $1; set ecut = 0; set ccut=0; sb
