Hi,

The number 134217729.0 gets used in various places in e_pow.c but
there is no explanation of what that number is.  Attached patch adds
the explanation in dla.h and uses the macro in the code instead of the
bare value.  Verified that there are no regressions resulting from
this.  OK to commit?

Yes, thanks,

Andreas
