Hello, I would like to have an option for ffgen to return a primitive polynomial rather than just some random irreducible polynomial. Preferrably a Conway polynomial but, for many use cases, any will do. Would that be hard to implement? Pari could iterate through irreducible polynomials until Mod(x,candidate) has maximal order. Please excuse me if that functionality is already present somewhere but I didn't notice. Cheers, Martin
