I am about to start working both with cohesive materials, and also with heat flow - in both of these cases the contact area between particles is an important parameter. It would be great if this value could be exposed to compute pair/gran/local so that it could also be output via dump local...

I can probably figure out the changes if nobody else finds it useful, but I haven't yet started to dig into the code base ;-)

Thanks! Mark
