These two are not nice. As I said in an earlier mail: The
documentation says that the thread function pointer that is passed to
_beginthreadex must have __stdcall calling convention. Therefore, you
should not change these to WINAPI.

WINAPI is just a define for __stdcall (since _MSC_VER >= 800 anyways; VC 6.0 being _MSC_VER == 1200), and won't change.

So, IMO the change is not bad, and makes things less convoluted by using the same convention all over.

(And _beginthreadex actually accepts both __stdcall and __clrcall calling conventions.)
