look at the bottom of .xml file, interactions are stored at the end. I
added REGISTER_ATTRIBUTE for variables in SpheresContactGeometry and
ElasticContactParameters. Previously nothing was stored there. you can
just compare the end of old .xml with new .xml.

set nullgui to save, for example every 1000 of iterations, set it to
print progress so that you know how much is computed. And to interrupt -
just press ctrl-C in the terminal. nullgui is not interactive.

I have just added an option for nullgui to save using binary format, it
is not committed yet to the repository. Binary saves are quicker to perform.
