The point of these wrappers AFAIU is not only to add error_exit, but 
also to be portable to Windows in the future.  Is it necessary to create 
the threads as detached?  If you set queue->min_threads to zero all 
threads should exit as soon as they finish their work (which is better 
than exiting immediately).
