Peter, so your complaint is about the lack of support for explicitly
specified (non-"named") groups? That's completely intentional, see the
RFC's abstract. (It *shouldn't* be that much of a problem that the server
might be using a ill-chosen group, because if the server does dumb things
we can't save it anyway. However, given all the complexities of the TLS
handshake, there's actually more that can fall apart if the group is bad.)
