This seems like a very useful library.  Thanks for that!

I suggest looking at Daniel Fischer's arithmoi [1] library, which
implements very fast Integer operations and should provide most
functionality needed.  However, beware of timing attacks.

Also for the particular purpose of generating safe primes I have written
a blazingly fast implementation that uses intelligent sieving and finds
even large primes (>= 4096 bits) within seconds or minutes.  It's on
hpaste [2].  I might turn this into a library at some point.
