Bug description:gmp_pow does not accept gmp values

Description:
------------
gmp_pow throws a "expects parameter 2 to be long" error when passed a gmp
value.



Works nicely with PHP 5.2.x but not with PHP 5.3.



I am doing some maths for encryption with php which use large integers and
I have 

to compute pow(a,b) with both values being large integers (~512 bits).



I'm opening this bug so we can investigate why gmp_pow() has been modified
to 

only accept integers as second argument, and if there is no good reason
make it 

accept gmp values again.



My guess is this change was done on the PHP_5_2 branch but not ported to
PHP_5_3. 

Unfortunately svn blame couldn't fetch anything interesting to know why
this 

became like this.

Test script:
---------------
$a=gmp_init(48974);

$b=gmp_init(55);

$c=gmp_pow($a,$b);

var_dump(gmp_intval($c));

Expected result:
----------------
int(7944261659914959072)

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: gmp_pow() expects parameter 2 to be long, resource given in
Command line 

code on line 1

int(0)
