Indeed. Now, for c99 target we are actually calling __builtin_cpow (was 
not the case one week ago due to a trivial oversight) and consistency 
with cpow is basically automatic. In case of non-c99 platforms (thus 
missing, in general, cpow) we open code the complex::pow code (and 
return consistently (0, 0) for zero^zero). Seems a satisfactory solution.
