Description

This patch fixes some minor issues with the Windows config.h and TargetVersion.h files.

TargetVersion.h:
_WIN32_WINNT (and thus WINVER) was being forced to 0x0601, overriding project-specific settings. The generally accepted approach is to let the project set this and only define it if it's not already present.

config.h:
struct pollfd must be defined for a true XP compatible build (WINVER 0x501). This could not happen before when WINVER was being forced to 0x0601, causing the struct definition to be pulled in from a Vista+ header.
Some other tweaks resolve compiler warnings.

I've tested this by building the Thrift C++ libraries with VS2010, as well as our Windows projects that use Thrift. Please provide feedback if this causes any issues.
