[GiNaC-devel] [PATCH 02/10] introduce gcd_pf_pow: gcd helper to handle partially factored expressions.

GiNaC tries to avoid expanding expressions while computing GCDs and applies
a number of heuristics. Usually this improves performance, but in some cases
it doesn't. Allow user to switch off heuristics.

Part 2:

Move the code handling powers from gcd() into a separate function. This
is *really* only code move, everything else should be considered a bug.
