the code in libm.h is speed relevant as its used during runtime
while the table generator is used during buildtime to build a
relativly small table.
powf() is possibly faster than pow() so it makes sense to use it in
libm.h
while for the table generators the portability argument applies more

anyway this is just a suggestion i dont mind powf() being used if it
works on all supported platforms
