+  *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via

+     Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
+     on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order.  This includes
+     EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().

+  *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
+     generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5.  (Previously, the
+     code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
+     BN_generate_prime().)
+
+     In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
+     actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
+     a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
+     better.
