Perhaps the original poster only needed to raise e to INTEGER powers,
but the Mathlib pow() function deals with the more general (and
useful) case where the power is a double.  ie

double pow(double x, double y);

If the original poster needs the more general case, it looks like the
code can be lifted from the MathLib sources 

// 15 August 1997, Rick Huebner:  Small changes made to adapt for
MathLib

I have no idea how much else of the MathLib functions would have to be
dragged in, but it certainly doesn't look like a trivial 'why don't
you write a similiar function' problem to me.
