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.
