[Bruno Chareyre <bruno.chareyre@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The new equations of damping have been commited to Berlios repository.

If you checkout repository, be aware that you will now have the 
CundallNonViscousForceDamping.cpp and 
CundallNonViscousMomentumDamping.cpp as modified by me...

It should not be a problem for anyone as the new equations are supposed 
to be better ;), so in fact I recommend that you update your source now :).
