Fair enough, might be worth documenting somewhere that the thrift cpp library 
use Winsock2 and therefore users should be aware of the fact that their own 
code (and other third-party libraries like Qt) might cause issues if they 
include Windows.h before the thrift headers.

>             Project: Thrift
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: C++ - Library
>    Affects Versions: 0.9.1
>         Environment: MSVC

> As "windows/config.h" includes Winsock2.h, is it not best practise to define 
> before it: 
> {code}WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN{code} 
> This is in case someone includes Windows.h, which automatically includes the 
> incompatible Winsock.h. It also reduces the size of the Win32 header files 
> which helps compilation speeds :)
