Is there a pow-function for mpz_t and double

I expect an floating point value as the result. Maybe, an example makes
it more clear: Given a large integer x = 4294967296 and a floating point
value y = 1.53169, i want to compute x to the power of y, ie.

4294967296^1.53169

Mathematically speaking the situation is that of a mapping

f: Z x R -> R, (x,y) -> x^y

with integer values Z and real numbers R. Before I am looking at the
MPFR library I really would like to know, if there is really no
possibility for doing this in the GNU MP library.
