I've given that a little more thought. Instead of encumbering the factory functions which implement the old API with an optional dbenv argument, I think if people want to provide their own environment it's reasonable to expect them to use the new bsddb3 API. All we should do with the old API is make it work in a multi-threaded environment if possible.
