Hi,

Degree 5 is probably too large for a 100 digits dlp.
I recommend degree 4.

For the other stages, I can't say just now what is the best choice.
I will try a few things and commit them to the development version (maybe
today or tomorrow). Now that dlp is fully operational, it make sense to
have more parameter sets. Certainly not optimal ones, but things that
work...

Pierrick
