mpn_powm not documented -- an oversight?

[Will Galway]

Thanks for the comments Paul.  As to the usefulness of putting gmp_powm 
into the public interface, I'd guess that it would considerably speed-up 
my particular application, but I'll have to benchmark it before knowing 
for sure.  If it IS much faster, I'll send another report.  (If it isn't 
much faster, I doubt I'll bother to report it.)

-- Regards, Will
