First off, I'm glad people here are seriously considering my queries!
I've gotten a lot of useful leads so far, and I still have a few more to
process.

Secondly, anyone as broke as I am might have glossed over the following
because there's a textbook involved, and I urge whoever else may have
done that to take a second look:

Page 161 of the Handbook of Applied Cryptography (Menezes, van Oorschot
and Vanstone, CRC Press, http://www.cacr.math.uwaterloo.ca/hac/) has a
big table of primitive polynomials over GF(2).

This book (at least currently) has PS and PDF files for the entirety of
its content by chapter at the URI mentioned. (As soon as I found that
out, I set wget loose on it. :-) For the impatient, the pages mentioned
in this discourse are from chapter 4.

I'm still working on this thing, but I'm appreciative to anyone who's
commented so far.

Thanks! -- PSM
