	* oct-inttypes.h (template <class T> pow (T a, T b)): New template
	function for power function.

	* int8NDArray.cc, int16NDArray.cc, int32NDArray.cc, int64NDArray.cc, 
	uint8NDArray.cc, uint16NDArray.cc, uint32NDArray.cc, uint64NDArray.cc:
	instantiate power function.

	* general/bitcmp.m, general/bitget.m, general/bitset.m: Remove 
	limitation on the use of int64 and uint64 types. Hide the use of 
	"eval" with a function handle.

	* general/bitset.m: Remove superfluous cast to return type, as bug
	in .^ with integer types is fixed.

	* OPERATORS/op-int.h (ss_pow, ms_el_pow, mm_el_pow): New power 
	functions.
	(sm_el_pow): Modify to correct return type.
	(OCTAVE_SS_POW_OPS, OCTAVE_SM_POW_OPS, OCTAVE_MS_POW_OPS,
	OCTAVE_MM_POW_OPS): New macros to define the power operator over
	integer types.
	(OCTAVE_SS_INT_OPS, OCTAVE_SM_INT_OPS, OCTAVE_MS_INT_OPS,
	OCTAVE_MM_INT_OPS): Use the use macros for the power operators.
	(OCTAVE_INSTALL_SS_INT_OPS, OCTAVE_INSTALL_MS_INT_OPS,
	OCTAVE_INSTALL_MM_INT_OPS): Install new power functions.

	* OPERATORS/op-int-conv.cc (INT_CONV_FUNCTIONS): Correct return
	types for unsigned integer scalars and signed integer matrices.
