 B<prime_len> is the length in bits of the safe prime to be generated.
 B<generator> is a small number E<gt> 1, typically 2 or 5. 
 
 A callback function may be used to provide feedback about the progress

-=head1 HISTORY
-
-DH_check() is available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL.
-The B<cb_arg> argument to DH_generate_parameters() was added in SSLeay 0.9.0.
-
-In versions before OpenSSL 0.9.5, DH_CHECK_P_NOT_STRONG_PRIME is used
-instead of DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
