There's no LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE type on non-Windows machines.
You could replace 'start' with '(LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE)(start)'
in the _WIN32 variant of '#define THREAD_CREATE...'.

However, it's still wrong to call a function via another prototype.
Maybe that'd fall on 32-bit Windows or something, I don't know
how LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE is defined.  The safe way would be to
give mdb_env_copythr() a prototype which does not need a cast.
There is some code for that already. Maybe it can be improved.
