##
## Creates a generator polynomial for a Reed-Solomon coding with message
## length of @var{k} and codelength of @var{n}. @var{n} must be greater
## than @var{k} and their difference must be even. The generator polynomial
## is returned on @var{g} as a polynomial over the Galois Field GF(2^@var{m})
## where @var{n} is equal to @code{2^@var{m}-1}. If @var{m} is not integer
## the next highest integer value is used and a generator for a shorten
## Reed-Solomon code is returned.
##
## The elements of @var{g} represent the coefficients of the polynomial in
## descending order. If the length of @var{g} is lg, then the generator
## polynomial is given by
## @tex
## $$
## g_0 x^{lg-1} + g_1 x^{lg-2} + \cdots + g_{lg-1} x + g_lg.
## $$
## @end tex
## @ifnottex
##
## @example
## @var{g}(0) * x^(lg-1) + @var{g}(1) * x^(lg-2) + ... + @var{g}(lg-1) * x + @var{g}(lg).
## @end example
## @end ifnottex
##
## If @var{p} is defined then it is used as the primitive polynomial of the
## Galois Field GF(2^@var{m}). The default primitive polynomial will be used
## if @var{p} is equal to [].
##
## The variables @var{b} and @var{s} determine the form of the generator
## polynomial in the following manner.
## @tex
## $$
## g = (x - A^{bs}) (x - A^{(b+1)s})  \cdots (x - A ^{(b+2t-1)s}).
## $$
## @end tex
## @ifnottex
##
## @example
## @var{g} = (@var{x} - A^(@var{b}*@var{s})) * (@var{x} - A^((@var{b}+1)*@var{s})) * ... * (@var{x} - A^((@var{b}+2*@var{t}-1)*@var{s})).
## @end example
## @end ifnottex
##
## where @var{t} is @code{(@var{n}-@var{k})/2}, and A is the primitive element
## of the Galois Field. Therefore @var{b} is the first consecutive root of the
## generator polynomial and @var{s} is the primitive element to generate the
## polynomial roots.
##
## If requested the variable @var{t}, which gives the error correction
## capability of the Reed-Solomon code.
