Sorry for being too harsh, now I understand it is a cleaner version of
the older one. If people using the older CohesiveFrictionalLaw agree, I
would like to remove the old one. I will update the *_DOC so that the
reference to paper is in the comment that appears on the web, if you
agree. The /* comments */ don't show up anywhere, except for doxygen,
which is almost unused now.

Cheers, Vaclav
