> The public, installed Thrift C++ header files depend on an autoconf generated system specific  'config.h' header file. Unfortunately, having this header file as a part of the library headers is generally troublesome.  For example, see:
> http://sources.redhat.com/autobook/autobook/autobook_96.html
> Attached is a patch that relies on an alternative, simpler approach based on AX_PREFIX_CONFIG_H, which adds a package prefix to both config.h file name and to the macros defined within:
> http://www.nongnu.org/autoconf-archive/ax_prefix_config_h.html
> The resulting thrift-config.h can be installed and included safely from C++ applications having their own config.h.
